CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
“There is considerable value embedded in CKI’s world-class businesses.”
VICTOR T K LI Chairman

With the closing of the financial year 2025, we heralded in 2026, the year which marks the 30th anniversary of the listing of CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited ("CKI", the "Company" or the "Group"). This is a momentous milestone and we take pride in looking at what we have achieved over the past three decades.
It has been a journey of growth in scale, scope, and reach. What began in 1996 as a Hong Kong/Chinese Mainland focused company has grown into one of the world's largest global infrastructure players. Today, CKI has investments and operations across four continents with a diversified infrastructure portfolio. Our net assets have increased over 15 times, from approximately HK$8.4 billion as at 31st December, 1996, the year the company was listed, to HK$137.9 billion as at 31st December, 2025. Since listing, CKI has maintained a record of continued dividend growth, underscoring our resilience and dedication to shareholders. An investment in CKI's shares at IPO would have realised a total shareholder return of over 15 times (as of 27th February, 2026). These achievements have been attained in the face of both headwinds and tailwinds, through fluctuating economic cycles and turbulent geopolitical developments.
The macro-economic environment has been challenging in recent years. 2025 was no different as geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, interest rate uncertainties and inflationary stress continued to dominate headlines. It was against these conditions that CKI continued to demonstrate the strength of our economic model and the resilience of our businesses.
Another year of steady performance was achieved in 2025. For the year ended 31st December, 2025, profit attributable to shareholders was HK$8,265 million, an increase of 2% over last year. Our strong financial position continued, with cash on hand being HK$7.4 billion and a low net debt to net total capital ratio of 8.9% as at 31st December, 2025. The Group is well-placed to capitalise on upcoming growth opportunities.
The Board of Directors of CKI (the "Board") has recommended a final dividend of HK$1.88 per share. Together with the interim dividend of HK$0.73 per share, the total dividend for the year will amount to HK$2.61 per share, representing an upward trajectory of continued dividend growth since listing. The proposed dividend will be paid on Wednesday, 10th June, 2026, subject to approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting to those shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members of the Company at the close of business on Wednesday, 27th May, 2026. As at the date hereof, the Company does not hold any treasury shares whether in the Central Clearing and Settlement System, or otherwise.
Across the portfolio, CKI's businesses have reported steady performances with good growth achieved by a number of operations.
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Profit contribution from Power Assets Holdings Limited ("Power Assets") was HK$2,246 million, an increase of 2% over last year. The international infrastructure portfolio maintained solid operational performances, underpinned by a diverse mix of infrastructure businesses which have demonstrated resilience amidst global macroeconomic volatility. HK Electric delivered steady returns, recording a modest 1% increase in profit contribution compared with the previous year's slight decline.
Profit contribution from the United Kingdom ("UK") was HK$3,983 million, similar to last year (in local currency terms, this represented a 3% decrease). The decline was primarily due to a lower profit contribution from UK Power Networks ("UKPN") as high true-ups from the previous regulatory period were recorded in 2024.
During the year, a solid operational performance was achieved at UKPN. The company has earned widespread industry recognition and over 50 national and international awards, including being named the much coveted Utility of the Year in the Utility Week Awards 2025; this marks the fifth time UKPN has won this accolade, a record amongst all UK utilities. It was also named Team of the Year and Strategic Partner of the Year at the same awards. The Institute of Customer Service also ranked UKPN first in the UK Customer Satisfaction Index in the Utility Sector and Utility Joint Sector.
On 1st April, 2025, Northumbrian Water ("NWG") entered into its new regulatory period. A number of recognitions were awarded to NWG also, including being ranked as the United Kingdom's best water company for customer service by industry regulator Ofwat – the highest of all accolades in the country's water sector; as well as being named Customer Initiative of the Year and Water Efficiency Project of the Year at the Water Industry Awards.
The final determination for both Northern Gas Networks ("NGN") and Wales & West Utilities ("WWU") was received in December 2025, while the first full year contribution was received from Phoenix Energy in 2025. The three UK gas distribution networks – namely NGN, WWU and Phoenix Energy – all reported satisfactory earnings.
The divestment of UK Rails, which was announced in July 2025, was completed in January 2026, further strengthening CKI's balance sheet.
Profit contribution from Australia was HK$1,784 million, the same as last year (in local currency terms, profit increased by 2%).
SA Power Networks ("SAPN") entered into a new regulatory period on 1st July, 2025. Under the final determination, higher allowable returns and strong asset growth will be features of the 2025 to 2030 period. In November 2025, severe weather caused substantial damage to South Australia's electricity network. Crews responded swiftly to address the situation. The team's prompt action drew positive feedback from the local community and key stakeholders, reinforcing confidence in SAPN's operational resilience.
Victoria Power Networks ("VPN"), which comprises electricity distribution networks CitiPower and Powercor, and United Energy have submitted their revised proposals for the upcoming regulatory resets which will commence on 1st July, 2026. Higher capital investments have been proposed to enhance the networks' ability to support strong demand growth from energy transition.
In the 2025 Annual Benchmarking Report published by the Australian Energy Regulator ("AER"), CKI's four distribution network service providers – namely Powercor, SAPN, United Energy and CitiPower – are among the six top performing providers nationally, in terms of average operational expenditure (opex) efficiency scores over the 2006-2024 time period. Notably, CitiPower was ranked first among 13 distributors for multilateral total factor productivity in the same report.
Satisfactory growth was achieved by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group ("AGIG"), which consists of Australian Gas Networks ("AGN"), Multinet Gas Networks and Dampier Bunbury Pipeline. In November, AGIG successfully acquired the shares in the APA entities that provide operation and maintenance ("O&M") services to the AGN networks, as well as other third-party gas assets. This enables AGIG to insure all O&M activities and regain full control of network operations. The transaction has resulted in the onboarding of an additional 720 staff, which more than doubles AGIG's existing staff base of 530.
Lower contributions from Energy Developments were reported resulting from the expiration of various lucrative contracts and low prevailing electricity prices.
In Continental Europe, profit contribution was HK$961 million, representing 58% growth (in local currency terms, this marked an increase of 50%). The increase was driven by a favorable deferred tax credit resulting from a reduction in corporate tax rate in Germany benefitting ista, and a strong operational performance. ista also continued its strategy of making value accretive acquisitions. One such transaction was the addition of SGW-Metering in September 2025. The acquisition of this metering installation company which features strong internal capabilities and established utility relationships expands ista's installation capacity for power metering and EV charging services.
Dutch Enviro Energy's plant in Rozenburg has been back in operation for treating waste since March 2025 following the fire in September 2023.
Profit contribution from Canada was HK$528 million, a 1% increase over last year (in local currency terms, this represented an increase of 3%).
Reliance Home Comfort performed well and completed the acquisition of two home service businesses in the United States.
Park'N Fly saw a decline in airport parking volumes as a result of the US-Canada trade tensions which affected travel demand. Cost-saving measures were implemented to mitigate the impact.
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
10 CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 11
Profit contribution from New Zealand was HK$200 million, marking an increase of 8% over last year (in local currency terms, this represented an increase of 13%). The growth arose due to strong performances from both Enviro NZ and Wellington Electricity.
Enviro NZ successfully secured a number of new contracts while Wellington Electricity commenced its new regulatory period, with higher allowable permitted returns starting on 1st April, 2025.
In Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland, CKI's portfolio recorded profit contribution of HK$68 million, a decrease of 48% over last year. This was mainly due to weak volumes for the cement business in Chinese Mainland and the decreasing prices for the concrete business in Hong Kong.
The Group has maintained an impressive financial standing. Funds from operations was a robust HK$8.5 billion for the year. As at 31st December, 2025, cash on hand was HK$7.4 billion, while the net debt to net total capital ratio was 8.9% and an industry low of 48.5% when taking into account the net debt in the infrastructure investment portfolio on a look-through basis. This firm foundation provides the underpinnings of CKI's solid business model and supports its acquisition strategy for future growth.
Standard & Poor's has reaffirmed the Group's credit rating of "A/Stable".
All businesses of CKI are carrying out environmental initiatives in support of the respective countries' net zero targets. The electricity distribution networks in the UK and Australia have continued to make progress in a number of key sustainability projects, including smart grid solutions, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and integration systems with renewable energy sources. Advancements are also being made by the gas transmission and distribution networks in hydrogen and biomethane projects. In addition, the unregulated businesses are securing contracts on major renewable energy projects including Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) as well as solar and wind facilities and related infrastructure systems.
In February 2026, CKI, Power Assets and CK Asset – holding 40%, 40% and 20% interests in UKPN, respectively, through their indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries – entered into a share purchase agreement to divest 100% interest of UKPN to Engie S.A., a Euronext-listed player in energy whose single largest shareholder is the French State.
The full disposal of UK Power Networks represents a flagship transaction for the CK Group and the UK utility sector. This divestment demonstrates the value generated by the transformation delivered during CK Group's ownership, with the expected cash proceeds from the disposal together with the distributions that UKPN has delivered over the years, resulting in a strong return on our initial investment made in 2010.
Completion of the transaction is expected before the end of June 2026, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, including approval under the UK's National Security Investment Act for the buyer, and independent shareholders' approval from each of CKI, Power Assets, CK Asset and CK Hutchison Holdings Limited.
As the global economy continues to experience uncertainty and challenges, the unwavering resilience of our quality asset portfolio underscores CKI's leading market position. The Group is one of the key infrastructure players on the world stage with an enviable track record in improving efficiency and financial performance as well as in delivering good service.
Despite the challenges in the macro-economic landscape, there are potential opportunities for growth and expansion. Market conditions – such as tightened liquidity and rising capital costs – are working in CKI's favour. In addition to having the financial resources to actively pursue new acquisitions, we are able to offer unparalleled experience and expertise in streamlining and growing infrastructure businesses.
We are also able to benefit from our network of strategic partners within the CK Group, including CK Asset and Power Assets, to pool resources for the right acquisitions that align with our shared investment philosophies.
Many of the Group's businesses are growing organically and are actively expanding their portfolios. This is especially evident in the unregulated arms of our regulated businesses as well as in companies which have large numbers of contracted businesses such as ista and Enviro NZ. CKI is also well-placed to generate synergies as we continue to diversify our portfolio by industry and geography.
We have built our reputation over the past three decades on our ability to deliver continued earnings growth and value to shareholders while always maintaining a comfortable gearing position. Optimising the delicate balance between growth and stability is at the heart of our business model. As part of this, we always adhere to strict financial discipline and never succumb to the "must-win" mentality in pursuing acquisitions.
There is considerable value embedded in our infrastructure portfolio of world-class assets, further backed by CKI's business development strategy. In recognition of this, may I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Board, our staff and our shareholders for their continued support.

CKI: 30 YEARS IN THE MAKING
“As a member of the Cheung Kong Group, the growth journey of CKI is similar to how ‘Cheung Kong’ (literally meaning ‘long river’) has been formed. ‘Cheung Kong’ is characterised by the numerous streams and tributaries converging into the main river over time. Through a series of acquisitions over 30 years, CKI has grown to become one of the largest infrastructure corporations in the world. Each of CKI’s member companies is like a tributary joining a river, distinct in origin yet united upon convergence. Individually and collectively, the infrastructure operations contribute to the economic development of different parts of the world, just as the ‘Cheung Kong’ river nourishes its banks.”
H L KAM Deputy Chairman and Co-Managing Director
On 17th July, 1996, CKI was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
At the time, CKI was a regional company holding a portfolio of 19 infrastructure projects in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland, and HK$8.4 billion in net assets.
Our mission from the outset was to develop CKI into a global, diversified infrastructure company dedicated to shaping a better world through quality infrastructure.


In pursuit of this visionary mission, our capital-intensive investments in regulated businesses and contractual infrastructure projects not only generate steady returns and recurring cash flows, they have also been able to deliver positive economic and social impact across the communities where we operate.
Thirty years on, a company that began as a regional player has been transformed into a leading global infrastructure enterprise.
CKI’s diversified global portfolio now comprises assets in energy infrastructure, water infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, waste management infrastructure, waste-to-energy infrastructure, household infrastructure, and infrastructure related businesses. Our investments and operations span Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the United Kingdom (“UK”), Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.

CKI is one of the few listed companies in the world that has achieved continuous annual dividend growth since listing.
Dividend per Share through the Years

CKI: 30 YEARS IN THE MAKING

As a member of the Cheung Kong Group, the growth journey of CKI is similar to how "Cheung Kong" (literally meaning "long river") has been formed. "Cheung Kong" is characterised by the numerous streams and tributaries converging into the main river over time. Through a series of acquisitions over 30 years, CKI has grown to become one of the largest infrastructure corporations in the world. Each of CKI's member companies is like a tributary joining a river, distinct in origin yet united upon convergence. Individually and collectively, the infrastructure operations contribute to the economic development of different parts of the world, just as the "Cheung Kong" river nourishes its banks.
CKI's globalisation journey, forged through more than 30 acquisitions over three decades, embodies the way "Cheung Kong" expands and gathers strength.
CKI's globalisation journey has progressed through four distinct phases, encompassing over 30 acquisitions since 1996.

In 1996, CKI was listed as a Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland focused company, investing primarily in transportation and infrastructure related businesses.
Within three years, CKI had further strengthened its foothold in China with a broad portfolio comprising toll roads, bridges, power stations and infrastructure related businesses.
CKI made a strategic move in 1999, expanding beyond Greater China to embark on the Group's first overseas venture.
1999 – 2000 was a transformative period for CKI – the efforts and transactions undertaken in this short span created a solid platform for CKI's global expansion.
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Envestra – In July 1999, CKI acquired a 19.97% stake in Envestra, then the largest listed natural gas distribution company in Australia. This represented CKI’s first investment in Australia as well as its entry into the natural gas business.
In December 2024, Envestra (now Australian Gas Networks) celebrated the 25th anniversary of CKI's initial investment, as well as the 10th anniversary of Envestra's privatisation by CKI, bringing Envestra into the CKI Family.
ETSA Utilities – In January 2000, CKI privatised ETSA Utilities, the primary electricity distributor in the state of South Australia. This marked CKI’s first overseas investment in electricity distribution, and its debut as an investor-operator.
In December 2024, ETSA (now SA Power Networks) hosted a celebration to mark 25 years since its privatisation by CKI, ahead of the official anniversary in January 2025.
Powercor – In September 2000, CKI acquired Powercor, the largest electricity distributor in Victoria. This acquisition represented CKI’s second foray into the Australian electricity market, only eight months after the privatisation of ETSA. Within a year, CKI had emerged as one of the most notable infrastructure investors in Australia.
In September 2025, Powercor celebrated its 25th anniversary since becoming a CKI member company in 2000. Dozens of the original Powercor team members who had witnessed that defining moment 25 years ago joined this memorable occasion.
In the following years, CKI made a number of major acquisitions to grow its Australian portfolio. These included:
Today, CKI’s portfolio in Australia encompasses electricity distribution and transmission, gas transmission and distribution, as well as renewable and remote energy solutions.

CKI: 30 YEARS IN THE MAKING
From 2004, CKI began a stronger push to extend its overseas presence. Having accumulated valuable experience and built a solid reputation in Australia, CKI took on a new frontier – the UK.
Throughout the years, we have made a number of landmark acquisitions, assembling a comprehensive portfolio of world-class assets spanning the water, gas and electricity sectors.
In 2004, CKI made its first foray into the UK with a relatively small investment in Cambridge Water, which marked our entry into the water industry. As UK regulations do not permit companies to hold a significant interest in more than one regulated water utility, Cambridge Water was divested in 2011, paving the way for CKI to launch a general offer for Northumbrian Water, which was then a listed company. CKI then moved to privatise Northumbrian Water later in the same year. This strategic step significantly advanced CKI's position in the UK water utility sector.
CKI acquired Northern Gas Networks ("NGN") in 2005. It was CKI's first major investment in the UK and its first gas asset in the country.
In July 2025, NGN celebrated its 20-year anniversary as a member of CKI.

CKI: 30 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Thirty years in the making, CKI's globalisation journey has made us one of the world's largest global infrastructure companies. Since listing in 1996, we have consistently delivered solid financial results, achieved continuous dividend growth, and enhanced shareholder value. Our resilient business model and strong capital base continue to drive substantial value growth in our portfolio.

As we look to the road ahead, we recognise that both challenges and opportunities will emerge. In an era defined by geopolitical uncertainties and macro-economic volatility, a prudent and disciplined approach is more critical than ever. Indeed, such times often create a competitive advantage for companies like that of CKI, combining resilience, financial strength, acquisition capabilities, and operational expertise.
CKI's long term strategy is anchored in priorities built upon our core strengths: driving organic growth from our existing portfolio; pursuing investment opportunities in businesses that deliver stable returns and strong recurring cash flows; and maintaining a strong balance sheet with low gearing. These strategic focuses will continue to drive CKI's expansion and strengthen its impact for decades to come.
CKI remains dedicated to its mission of advancing infrastructure investments and developments to make the world a better place. We look ahead with confidence to many more decades of growth and achievements.
Deputy Chairman and Co-Managing Director
18th March, 2026
CKI is one of the world's largest global infrastructure companies with diverse businesses across different sectors around the world.
Through globalisation and diversification, CKI's portfolio now spans Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. Currently, its operations include electricity generation, transmission and distribution; gas transmission and distribution; transportation; water treatment and distribution; waste management; waste-to-energy; household infrastructure; as well as infrastructure materials manufacturing.
The Group has an effective set of strategies for continued growth and development:
CKI strives to drive organic growth and value creation from its existing portfolio. There are significant capital deployment opportunities within our existing portfolio, as businesses such as energy and water networks require investment to accommodate the changing landscape, including to support the ongoing energy transition. Innovations and synergies across the Group help us to learn from experiences and implement global best practices across our businesses, which helps to drive further value creation. CKI's head office sets targets, provides guidance and support, and works with local management to address challenges and optimise business performance.
When studying a potential acquisition, CKI focuses on the fundamentals of the target and adopts a valueadd approach. Even as the infrastructure sector has become intensely competitive, CKI never adopts a "must-win" mindset in a bidding situation. Stringent investment criteria must be met which in turn, maximise risk-based returns and provide stable recurring cashflows. The Group seeks investments in industries where it can capitalise on existing knowledge, and favours countries that have established legal systems and transparent regulatory regimes. CKI's global footprint and strong local management teams also position us well to originate and execute on growth opportunities, in both existing and adjacent markets or industries. Our investment philosophy and local market knowledge ensure that we are disciplined and experienced when evaluating growth opportunities, so that we can maintain a high performing and resilient portfolio of assets.
A strong balance sheet provides a stable platform to support the Group's future growth. As at 31st December, 2025, CKI had cash on hand of HK$7.4 billion, and gearing remained low at a net debt to net total capital ratio of 8.9%. CKI enjoys low funding cost with a Standard & Poor's "A/Stable" rating. The Group aims to preserve this financial strength to ensure it can opportunistically pursue acquisitions.
We look to continue to play a leading role both by evolving strategies in our existing portfolio companies and by investing in the critical new infrastructure that is needed to create the net zero energy systems of tomorrow. Through our infrastructure, we strive to create enduring, sustainable value for our stakeholders.
CORPORATE CULTURE
As a global infrastructure company, CKI owns and operates a portfolio of quality infrastructure businesses around the world. The Group endeavours to enhance these businesses' service offerings and efficiency, while constantly striving to maintain assets in the best possible condition to be fit for purpose. CKI promotes a spirit of service for the community amongst staff members. The Group also fosters a corporate culture that puts strong emphasis on health and safety, and encourages creativity, diversity and innovation across all levels. Responsible workplace policies and practices that reflect the purpose, values and strategic direction of the Group in alignment with our established culture are in place in all member companies.

BUSINESS REVIEW
The Power Assets Group is a global investor in power generation, transmission and distribution, gas transmission and distribution, as well as oil storage and transmission across four continents in nine markets – namely the United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Thailand, Canada and the United States.

The Power Assets Group ("Power Assets") has delivered robust results across its portfolio of regulated infrastructure assets around the world.
In Hong Kong, HK Electric's ongoing investments in condition-based maintenance, real-time monitoring, and predictive diagnostics based on AI technology have sustained the company's supply reliability at above 99.9999%. In addition, the company continues to advance Hong Kong's decarbonisation goals under its 2024-2028 Development Plan. A 380 MW gas-fired combined-cycle unit (L13) is set for commissioning in 2029, while three oil-fired open-cycle gas-turbine units will be launched in phases starting from 2027 to replace aged machines.
The United Kingdom continues to be Power Assets' largest market of operation. UK Power Networks' operational performance remained strong, with a reliability rating of 99.99% during the regulatory period of 2024/2025. Both Northern Gas Networks and Wales & West Utilities received their final determinations in December 2025; they reflected higher proposed returns for the forthcoming regulatory period. During the year, Seabank Power conducted a comprehensive upgrade of the distributed control system, while 2025 marked the first full year of contribution from Phoenix Energy and UK Renewables Energy.
In Australia, SA Power Networks' financial outlook remained promising, supported by higher returns under the new regulatory period which started from 1st July 2025. As energy demand grows in the state of Victoria, the revised proposals for the next regulatory period of Victoria Power Networks and United Energy address the need on balancing reliability, safety
and affordability. Australian Gas Networks and Multinet Gas Networks benefited from higher revenue generated by the new connection fee introduced in Victoria, while Dampier Bunbury Pipeline received the final decision for the next Access Arrangement Period in December 2025, a framework for stable and secure returns was thus confirmed. During the year, Energy Developments acquired GWE Biogas and its Sandhill Biogas Plant in East Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
In Canada, the midstream pipeline and terminal assets of Canadian Midstream Assets were operated safely and reliably, helping to ensure stable production from all key customers as well as throughput volumes; and Canadian Power's Meridian plant has been operating smoothly under a new 25-year long term power purchase agreement that took effect in March 2025.
For Dutch Enviro Energy in the Netherlands, the final phase of reinstatement, construction and civil works for two new steam turbines are progressing well.
Over in New Zealand, Wellington Electricity maintained a strong operational performance.
The Ratchaburi Power Company in Thailand performed satisfactorily, benefiting from guaranteed returns from the national offtaker, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand.
In Chinese Mainland, the Jinwan Power Plant delivered satisfactory performance across all major operational and financial metrics. The two wind farms in Dali and Laoting contributed to the reduction of carbon emissions in these provinces.

BUSINESS REVIEW
At the Utility Week Awards 2025, UK Power Networks was crowned the much coveted Utility of the Year for the fifth time. This is an unprecedented tools record in the UK utility industry.
As energy consumption continues to evolve, driven by factors such as efficiency improvements, technological advancements and decarbonisation efforts, UK Power Networks' transformative projects have continued to adapt to customers' expectations and deliver practical benefits. Notably, the company has continued to invest in innovative solutions to support the country's net zero future.
In 2024, the company's Distribution System Operator ("DSO") launched the UK's first "day ahead" flexibility market, and since then two more UK network operators have followed the example. In 2024/2025 the DSO dispatched 13 GWh of flexibility at distribution level, the vast majority of it from domestic households who charge their electric vehicles outside of peak times or turn up demand during off-peak hours to absorb excess green energy. Electricity involved is enough to power more than 45,000 homes for a month.
As part of UK Power Networks' broader £800 million investment programme, the company has completed extensive works to upgrade and future-proof its electricity network which powers 8.5 million homes and businesses. These projects have included the completion of a major £15.6 million infrastructure upgrade at a new substation in East London; the installation of three environmentally friendly 33,000-volt cables to replace older circuits and thereby ensure resilient and efficient energy; and the adoption
of innovative new technology which uses new steel support trusses to add security and resilience to overhead power lines against winds and third-party damage.
The company has also introduced innovative solutions to maintain high standards for customer experience while decarbonising the network. New investments were made for a fleet of nine hybrid battery-engine generators which house both an engine and a battery unit. These generators will provide more versatile power supply during essential maintenance, as well as reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 71%. Likewise, the company's ChargePoint Navigator project has upgraded the efficiency and equitability of local electric vehicle public charging facilities. This project won the Transport Project of the Year accolade at the UK Green Business Awards.
Other key innovation projects of UK Power Networks progressed well. Four such projects harnessed Strategic Innovation Fund grants from Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets) as discovery phase funding to tackle some of the energy sector's most urgent challenges. These projects included: (i) Hot Chips, which explores the use of surplus heat from data centres to support low-carbon, flexible heating; (ii) SHARED, which explores low-cost hydrogen for residential and infrastructure settings; (iii) Conductor, which explores using large-scale battery storage to
provide power to electric trains; and (iv) Super DuPPR, which aims to safely share backup power onto the grid through Low-Carbon Technologies.
The non-regulated UK Power Networks Services also demonstrated equal innovation. The company signed a £24 million contract to upgrade the high-voltage power network on the London Underground's Piccadilly line. This work supports the rollout of new trains for increased peak service and improved resilience.
Northumbrian Water is one of ten regulated water and sewerage companies in England and Wales. The company operates approximately 26,400 kilometres of water mains and 30,200 kilometres of sewers, provides water and wastewater services to 2.7 million people in North East England, and supplies over 2 million properties in Essex and Suffolk. In addition to regulated businesses, Northumbrian Water's operations include Kielder Water - the largest man-made lake in northern Europe - as well as a portfolio of long term water and wastewater services contracts in Scotland and Ireland.
In 2025, Northumbrian Water was ranked as the United Kingdom's best water company for customer service by industry regulator Ofwat - the highest of all accolades in the country's water sector. The company's proud commitment to outstanding customer outreach was also recognised through the Customer Initiative of the Year title at the 2025 Water Industry Awards. At the same award event, Northumbrian Water was rewarded the Water Efficiency Project of the Year award. Additionally, the company's outstanding internal communications was awarded the Best In-House Team of the Year accolade by the Institute of Internal Communications. Northumbrian Water was also recognised by the Good Business Charter for their commitment to responsible business practices that support people and planet.
Driven by industry-leading business practices and social responsibility, the Ethisphere Institute named Northumbrian Water among the World's Most Ethical Companies for the 14th time, while Great Place to Work retained the company on its list of the UK's
Best Workplaces in the Super Large Companies category, as well as among the UK's Best Workplaces for Wellbeing.
Throughout the year, Northumbrian Water continued its commitment to engaging in widespread enhancements and additions to its network. Significantly, Northumbrian Water completed the first stage of its major Project Pipeline Initiative – a £92.5 million investment in a new 33 kilometres pipeline which connects County Durham with Lartington Water Treatment Works in Teesdale. The project protects the resilience and quality of water supplies through the installation of large strategic mains, while reducing pumping, thus saving both energy and cost. The company also commenced £71 million of upgrades to three County Durham sewage treatment facilities and carried out its £49 million upgrade of the Barsham Water Treatment Works, which will enhance treatment processes and protect water quality. These projects constitute part of the company's broader £3.6 billion network investment programme over the regulatory period, which includes £1.7 billion earmarked for protecting the environment.

Continuing its multi-pronged approach to tackle sewer flooding, Northumbrian Water progressed its £20 million Smart Sewers project, with new investments adding to some 750 sensors which contribute to a "digital twin" of the network. This system uses artificial intelligence ("AI")-driven software to monitor real-time situations and divert waste to holding tanks. Additionally, new satellite technology has been harnessed to feed into the AI model, providing quadrupled efficiency and bolstered accuracy in pinpointing leaks. The company has run Britain's first trial of AI sewer forecasting for 2.7 million customers, estimating that the innovative system can prevent up to 80% of toxic storm overflows. Further still, the "Pipebot" – the first autonomous sewer robot of its kind – has been deployed since July to patrol and inspect sewers for damage and potential blockage, alongside world-first automated drones which can both sample and carry out near laboratory-grade water health tests. This technology supports Northumbrian Water's position at the forefront of protecting the country's waterways from storm overflow pollution.
Northumbrian Water has also continued to garner the backing of Ofwat for its innovative projects, securing £9.5 million in funding for three new initiatives during the year. In addition to (i) the Smart Skies Healthy
Water scheme which uses drones and robotics to monitor coastlines and waterways before instantly delivering laboratory-grade analysis, the funding also supports (ii) Net Water PositiHyve, which will recycle treated wastewater leftovers at large industrial sites; and (iii) the Stream 3 project, which builds on an open data platform supporting industry decision-making. These funds maintain the company's momentum as the leading winner of grants from Ofwat's Innovation Fund Water Breakthrough Challenge over the past five years – testament to the company's commitment to innovative solutions for customers and the environment.

landmark year, the company also received the final determination for RIIO-GD3, the regulatory period of which will be from 2026 to 2031. The company's business plan for this period called for an investment of over £1.8 billion in its gas network.
During the year, Northern Gas Networks was a runner-up in the Business Innovation Award at the Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers ("IGEM") and Energy & Utilities Alliance ("EUA") Gas Industry Awards in recognition of its impactful role in engaging youth-led insights for innovation. The company was also Highly Commended for the Best Use of Innovation in Customer Engagement at the Engage Awards – a recognition of its pioneering Young Innovators Panel, a group of young people aged 14 to 19 who help to shape and influence Northern Gas Networks' plans and decisions including improving sustainability commitments, developing new work experience programmes, and shaping long term plans to strengthen workforce resilience.
Northern Gas Networks remained a vital force in helping communities keep warm and healthy. In the last 12 months, the company successfully expanded its network of Centres for Warmth, which are located in the heart of some of the most vulnerable communities it serves, increasing the number of centres from six to 20. The company's shareholder funded Community Partnering Fund continued to provide seed funding to grassroots community groups to support customers in vulnerable situations. Meanwhile, Northern Gas Networks continued to lead
the Warm Homes Healthy Futures programme, a collaborative venture between all four of Great Britains gas distribution networks, working with the national fuel poverty action charity, National Energy Action (NEA). The last 12 months saw the programme ramp up, supporting local public health services to tackle fuel poverty and health inequalities on a national scale, by engaging households affected by deprivation.
A major highlight for Northern Gas Networks in 2025 was its progress in hydrogen, an initiative in support of decarbonisation. In June, Northern Gas Networks' East Coast Hydrogen partnership with National Gas and Cadent received £96 million Ofgem funding for the development of its next phase. This will see three separate Front End Engineering Design (FEED) studies carried out by each network, a two-year development phase of design, environmental assessment, consents and public consultation required to enable a hydrogen-ready network over the next decade. Northern Gas Networks secured £20 million of this funding to explore the re-purposing and construction of infrastructure to transport hydrogen for use in heavy industry.
Meanwhile, the new Knapton H2 Storage project in North Yorkshire, a feasibility study led by the company to win Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund "Discovery" stage support, will drive innovation in exploring the role of hydrogen storage using the site's diverse geology. Combined, such delivery and storage of clean hydrogen at scale are key to providing year-round energy security.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Another milestone achievement in 2025 was the signing of a government contract for a low-carbon hydrogen production facility in Bradford by Northern Gas Networks' hydrogen infrastructure sister company, N-Gen Energy Solutions. Under the agreement, the facility will receive subsidies allowing the hydrogen produced to be sold at a competitive rate comparable to fossil fuels for 15 years. The Bradford facility, which is the largest of 11 projects funded by the government's first hydrogen allocation round of £2 billion, will offer hydrogen production, storage and refuelling capacities upon opening in 2027. Using electrolysis to split water, hydrogen produced would be used in place of natural gas. The facility is to produce up to 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen daily – enough to power 800 buses. This will represent a trailblazing step in the adoption of clean, locally produced hydrogen to reduce emissions for heavy industry, transport and businesses at an economical price.
Wales & West Gas Networks is the ultimate holding company of Wales & West Utilities, one of the eight gas distribution networks in the United Kingdom. The company has 2.5 million supply points and a pipeline network of over 35,000 kilometres. It serves an area of 42,000 square kilometres and a population of 7.5 million across Wales and South West England.
In recognition of its unwavering dedication to protecting lives and promoting safety while reliably delivering energy, Wales & West Gas Networks received its 12th consecutive Gold Award from RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). Additionally, as a result of the company's efforts to ensure employee wellbeing, which involves cultivating a positive working environment and pioneering individualised financial support schemes, Wales & West Gas Networks won the Investment in People category at the IGEM and EUA Gas Industry Awards.
During the year, Wales & West Gas Networks received the final determination for its RIIO-GD3 business plan for the 2026-2031 regulatory control period. This plan will facilitate network upgrades to ensure energy security for homes, businesses and industry alike, while strengthening infrastructure resilience against threats from climate change to cyber-attacks. As biomethane gas constitutes a key part of the government's decarbonisation roadmap, plans to optimise grid connections and harness biomethane have also been incorporated.
Wales & West Gas Networks received its 12th consecutive Gold Award from RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) in recognition of its unwavering dedication to protecting lives and promoting safety while reliably delivering energy.
Wales & West Gas Networks has continued to invest in pioneering infrastructure projects to reinforce its network, maintain supply security and prepare the network for low-carbon hydrogen gas. The company announced completion of a feasibility study for HyLine Gogledd, a dedicated 32-kilometre pipeline in North East Wales for hydrogen, which enables energy security, grid balancing and industrial decarbonisation. The pipeline is intended to supply low-carbon gas to about 3,000 industrial customers, who together account for approximately 55% of energy demand in the region. HyLine Gogledd is also to be linked with the HyNet project, an initiative driving hydrogen production for industry in England and Wales. Another groundbreaking project of the company's HyLine programme is HyLine Cymru, which involves a new 130-kilometre hydrogen pipeline across South Wales. This pipeline will help unlock at least 4.5 GW of offshore wind in the Celtic Sea by providing a route to market for clean energy producers. The two HyLine projects provide a deliverable vision for hydrogen in industrial decarbonisation at scale.
Wales & West Gas Networks recognises that different areas and customers need different solutions in the energy transition to support cost-effective decarbonisation of industry and transport. The Decentralised Alliance for South West Hydrogen (DASH) identified and modelled five opportunity areas for decentralised hydrogen networks; and based on evidence gained in DASH, the South West Conceptual Plan (SWCP) applies existing demand data and storage profiles to route potential pipelines.
Building on the company's previous trial of a first-of-its-kind hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), Wales & West Gas Networks carried out an assessment of the potential to repurpose the existing network to carry hydrogen for refuelling FCEVs. The work recognises that hydrogen FCEVs are poised to fulfil challenging demands unmet by electric vehicles, including scalable long-distance operations, heavier-duty towing capacity, and on-board energy storage necessary for industrial operations. This project was implemented with the support of Ofgem's Network Innovation Allowance.

SA Power Networks' swift responses in addressing public safety risks and in mobilising restoration efforts during severe weather drive strong positive feedback from the local community, including words of praise from the Mayor of Port Pirie and the South Australian Premier.
SA Power Networks is South Australia's primary regulated electricity distributor. It serves more than 950,000 homes and businesses across an area of approximately 178,000 square kilometres. The powerline route length is approximately 89,000 kilometres.
SA Power Networks was presented with the Premier's Award for Productivity Improvement (Energy) at the South Australian Government's Premier's Awards for Energy and Mining for its Market Active Solar (MAS) project. This ground-breaking, industry-first initiative addresses the challenges posed by South Australia's rapid rooftop solar growth through shared digital infrastructure. By enabling collaboration between network operators and retailers, it allows dynamic solar curtailment (if or when it is needed), supporting customers, retailers, and the grid while shaping the state's renewable energy future as well as providing greater customer flexibility.
SA Power Networks also won the Best Energy Project award at the 2025 iTnews Benchmark Awards as well as the Sustainability Impact Award at Schneider Electric's Innovation Summit. These awards are testaments to SA Power Networks' commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.
SA Power Networks' dedication to the community was equally recognised in 2025. The SA Power Networks
and Enerven Employee Foundation received an Honourable Mention in the Decade of Impact category at the Australian Workplace Giving Awards 2025, acknowledging its long term charitable support. Since 2006, the Foundation has contributed A$6 million to South Australian communities.
In November 2025, severe weather caused substantial damage to South Australia's electricity network. Port Pirie was worst affected, experiencing what the State Emergency Services described as the town's "most significant storm event on record". Approximately 5,000 SA Power Networks customers experienced power interruptions in that location. SA Power Networks crews responded swiftly to address public safety risks from fallen powerlines and mobilised additional teams for restoration. Through an organisation-wide effort, power was restored to all customers within two days. This response drew strong positive feedback from the local community, including words of praise from the Mayor of Port Pirie and the South Australian Premier.
In July 2025, SA Power Networks commenced its 2025-2030 regulatory period under the AER final determination. The determination acknowledges SA Power Networks' growing capital requirements, resulting in higher allowed returns and asset base growth. This outcome followed extensive stakeholder engagement, balancing diverse expectations while upholding commitments to reliability, safety, affordability, and energy transition.
SA Power Networks operates at the forefront of Australia's energy transition. South Australia leads the nation in per capita rooftop solar uptake, with installations at over 45% of customer residential premises. Renewable resources currently meet around 70% of the state's energy needs. Against this backdrop, SA Power Networks is redefining its role by strategically evolving from a traditional electricity distributor into an advanced Distribution System Operator (DSO), equipped to manage dynamic, two-way energy flows. It implements innovative solutions to integrate distributed energy and facilitates new technologies, such as battery storage and virtual power plants, while maintaining a safe, reliable, and affordable network.
A key SA Power Networks initiative is the statewide Community Batteries Project, an operational trial supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency ("ARENA"). The project evaluates how strategically placed batteries can integrate storage, address specific grid constraints, and provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional network upgrades. Eight batteries will be deployed across three distinct applications:
With electricity demand in South Australia forecast to potentially double by 2050, SA Power Networks launched a three-year pilot project in 2024 - Energy Masters. Gaining support from the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining and funding from ARENA, substantial progress has been made across all research streams. Early findings provide a strong foundation for demonstrating
how flexible demand and smart Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) can offer households a cost-effective way to optimise energy use.
SA Power Networks continues to enhance its operational capability through strategic infrastructure and technology adoption. A new 25,000-square-metre, state-of-the-art depot was opened in Seaford. Strategically positioned, the facility improves electricity reliability, enhances network project delivery, enables more efficient responses to network events, and accommodates growth in Adelaide's southern suburbs and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
To improve efficiency and safety across its vast network, where over 30% of customers reside in rural or remote areas, SA Power Networks began a long-range drone trial on Kangaroo Island in 2025. Drones equipped with thermal cameras perform night inspections, fault-finding tasks, and bushfire season preparations.
During the year, SA Power Networks released its first cyber security strategy, outlining key initiatives for the next five years to protect its network, communities, customers, and workforce.
Enerven, the unregulated subsidiary of SA Power Networks, designs, procures, constructs, and maintains major utilities' infrastructure across Australia, with a strong focus on substations, transmission lines, large-scale energy and telecommunications assets.

CitiPower has maintained a strong operational record, ranking first among 13 distributors for multilateral total factor productivity in the Australian Energy Regulator's 2025 Annual Benchmarking Report.
In September 2025, Powercor marked the 25th anniversary of joining the CKI Family.
Ensuring network safety and reliability continue to be top priorities of CitiPower and Powercor. Year-round bushfire mitigation and vegetation management programmes have been launched using Light Detection and Ranging ("LiDAR") technology to create 3D models of powerlines and surrounding areas for precise inspection and vegetation management.
To further enhance network capacity, Powercor began installing an 100 kW/290 kWh community battery in Maldon, Western Victoria, in December 2025. Supported by the Australian Government's Community Batteries for Household Solar programme, the battery will store excess rooftop solar generation during the day and release it to the grid during peak demand, helping to maintain reliability and reduce carbon emissions.
Powercor also completed Australia's largest council-led smart lighting rollout, installing energy-efficient LED fittings with smart control technology to replace over 22,000 outdated lights in the City of Greater Geelong. The 4.5-year project delivers approximately A$2.2 million in annual operational savings and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3,300 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually. The integration of smart controllers and a Central Management System enables remote, real-time monitoring and adaptive lighting control, significantly improving public safety and lighting quality.
In a demonstration of operational innovation, a drone was used by Powercor to install a new powerline above the treetops during an emergency repair project in a remote part of Victoria. This approach restored power more quickly and safely, while minimising environmental impact and reducing costs.
Committed to innovation, Powercor, in partnership with Victoria University, has developed the world's first Single Wire Earth Return ("SWER") conductor break detection technology. This system can detect and isolate a broken powerline conductor in less than one second, helping to prevent bushfires. Recent field tests on Powercor's Springhill SWER network have proven the technology's capability - this marked a major step towards commercialisation by 2027. As SWER powerlines constitute around one-third of Powercor's high-voltage overhead network, this innovation adds another critical layer to the company's extensive suite of safety systems.
In September 2025, Powercor marked the 25th anniversary of joining the CKI Family in 2000. This milestone underscores CKI's successful long term strategy in Australian energy infrastructure, providing a strong foundation for Powercor to realise its full potential and to grow into a leading, innovative network.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The Group's infrastructure projects in Chinese Mainland include a toll road and a bridge in Guangdong province, namely the Shen-Shan Highway (Eastern Section) and Shantou Bay Bridge.
During the year, the Group's toll road and bridge revenue continues to grow steadily. The Shen-Shan Highway (Eastern Section) has seen sustained traffic growth, reflecting the enduring demand in the region.
Thorough safety inspection has been conducted at Shen-Shan Highway (Eastern Section) and Shantou Bay Bridge, which comprehensive operational safety assurance measures are being implemented; these include routine safety inspections, slope reinforcement, and anti-collision barrier upgrades. Structural works which involve the replacement of main bridge bearings and hanger cable alignment on the Bay Bridge are also progressing well.
In Hong Kong, CKI's infrastructure materials manufacturing business, through Green Island Cement ("GIC"), Alliance Construction Materials ("Alliance") and Anderson Asphalt (AAL), leads the construction industry in the production of cement, concrete, aggregates and asphalt.
GIC operates an integrated cement plant in Hong Kong and three cement facilities in Guangdong Province. In addition to the cement business, GIC also operates chartering of vessels and mining in Chinese Mainland
and Southeast Asia. Alliance is well recognised by the construction industry as a reliable concrete operator which always adopts an innovative approach in supplying quality concrete to the Hong Kong market.
GIC's two wholly owned subsidiaries in environmental business - Green Island Environmental Technologies Limited and Waste Tyre Recycling Hong Kong Limited - aim to minimise the use of natural resources such as limestone and coal in cement manufacturing by upcycling local waste materials into valuable components. Current initiatives include using oyster shells as an alternative to limestone and crushing waste tyres into powder as an alternative fuel to coal.
In 2025, GIC was named as a Hong Kong Green Organisation (2024-2026), a recognition led by the Environmental Campaign Committee alongside the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the 2025 Green Management Award held by the Green Council, the company received the Corporate Gold Award in the Large Corporation category, and the Sustained Performance (15 Years+) Award. In recognition of its workplace safety, GIC received the Outstanding Award in the All Industries category of the Safety Performance Awards, organised by the Occupational Safety & Health Council. In addition, the company was recognised as a "Super MD" (2025-2030) under the Manpower Developer Award Scheme granted by
the Employees Retraining Board, a status awarded to organisations which has maintained the "MD" recognition for ten consecutive years.
Alliance operates CKI's concrete and aggregates businesses, is a joint venture between CKI and Heidelberg Materials.
Alliance continues to play a vital role in supporting major infrastructure development across Hong Kong with a strong, sustainable and technologically smart ready-mixed concrete supply chain.
In 2025, Alliance supplied concrete for a range of strategic projects. At the Hong Kong International Airport, the company contributed to the construction of the city's largest Automated Car Parks, enabling the new "Park & Fly" and "Park & Visit" schemes, marking a major advancement in Greater Bay Area connectivity. Alliance also supported the government's accelerated public housing programme, supplying concrete to more than 20 Housing Authority projects and contributing to the government's strategy of enhancing the quantity, speed, efficiency and quality of public housing delivery.
For railway development, Alliance provided sustainable Ground Granulated Blastfumace Slag (GGBS) special concrete with tailored designs for Kwu Tung Station on the East Rail Line, the first station in Hong Kong constructed atop an operating railway tunnel. Across these airport, housing and railway projects, the company underscored its commitment to safety, environmental performance, governance excellence, sustainability and community care.
Alliance advanced its low-carbon transportation strategy during the year. The company introduced a battery-electric mixer drum which is fitted onto a diesel truck chassis, achieving up to a 30% reduction in fuel consumption compared with conventional diesel mixer trucks. Alliance also pioneered the adoption of renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) in its fleet - an important milestone in supporting Hong Kong's carbon-neutrality goals.
Alliance continued to strengthen its safety performance through digitalisation and innovation. The implementation of a Smart Site Safety System streamlined Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
management processes, while new virtual-reality driving simulations improved driver safety and helped reduce road traffic incidents by more than 50%. Alliance's achievements were recognised by multiple industry awards, including the Proactive Safety Contractor Award from the Hong Kong Construction Association, the Safety Performance Award at the 24th Hong Kong Occupational Safety & Health Award, and a Merit Award in the Building Products and Technologies category of the Green Building Award 2025.
In sustainability reporting, Alliance received the Silver Award in the Environmental, Social & Governance Report category at the INOVA Awards and was commended with the Best Sustainability Report for Non-listed Company at the Hong Kong ESG Reporting Awards.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
The Group's capital expenditure and investments were funded from cash on hand, internal cash generation, loans, notes, bonds, share placement and other project loans.
As at 31st December, 2025, cash and bank deposits on hand amounted to HK$7,350 million and the total borrowings of the Group amounted to HK$20,835 million, which included Hong Kong dollar notes of HK$260 million and foreign currency borrowings of HK$20,575 million. Of the total borrowings, 13 per cent were repayable in 2026 and 87 per cent were repayable between 2027 and 2030. To refinance certain borrowings repayable in 2026, the Group has obtained and is finalising loan facilities with certain banks.

A fair review of the Group's business, and an indication of likely future development in the Group's business are provided in the Business Review, Chairman's Letter and CKI: 30 Years in the Making on pages 30 to 63, pages 6 to 11 and pages 12 to 24 of this Annual Report, respectively.

In addition, particulars of important events affecting the Group that have occurred since the end of the year 2025, if any, are set out in the Chairman's Letter on pages 6 to 11. The above discussions form part of the Report of the Directors.
As a global leader in infrastructure investment, we recognise the increasing complexity of the operating environment in 2025, characterised by economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, accelerating artificial intelligence development, intensifying extreme weather events and evolving sustainability policies across major markets. Against this backdrop, we remain steadfast in our vision to make the world a better place through responsible infrastructure investment and development. We understand that infrastructure plays a critical role in enabling decarbonisation, strengthening climate resilience, safeguarding biodiversity and supporting inclusive growth.
In alignment with global climate objectives and the accelerating energy transition, investment in decarbonisation, resilient infrastructure and low-carbon technologies continues to be a key strategic focus. During the year, the Group invested approximately HK$12.6 billion in sustainable investment and activities across four principal areas: low-carbon transition technologies, sustainable transportation, asset modernisation and energy efficiency, and water, biodiversity and circular economy initiatives. These investments enhance infrastructure system resilience, support renewable integration, strengthen environmental protection and generate durable long-term value for shareholders.
To facilitate our net-zero transition, we continued to advance our structured low-carbon transition plan built on six strategic levers: decarbonising our generation portfolio; modernising and digitalising electricity networks; reducing methane and carbon emissions; preparing gas networks for renewable gas and hydrogen usage; optimising resource efficiency; and adopting cleaner production and service models through innovation and technology. Together, these levers provide a measurable and disciplined roadmap for achieving our decarbonisation ambitions while ensuring operational reliability.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
In 2025, the Group recorded a further reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, decreasing by 4.9% compared with 2024. Our progress remains aligned with our medium- and long-term commitments to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2035 (against a 2020 baseline) and to pursue net zero by 2050. At the same time, sustained investment in climate adaptation and infrastructure resilience remains a priority, as the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events continue to place pressure on infrastructure systems. Despite these challenges, our operations maintained strong performance and service reliability throughout the year.
To reinforce our commitment to accountability, transparency and sustainability, we continue to align our disclosures with leading global standards. In addition to maintaining disclosures consistent with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Group has further advanced its climate-related financial reporting with reference to the Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Code of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HK Stock Exchange") and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S2 Climate-related Disclosure Standard. Our disclosures are supported by a rigorous analytical framework combining Group-wide climate scenario analysis with bottom-up assessments from individual business units, providing stakeholders with clear, decision-useful insights into our climate-related risks, opportunities and strategic responses. Following our listing on the London Stock Exchange plc ("UK Stock Exchange"), we also comply with the relevant Listing Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority and applicable regulatory requirements.
Aligned with our climate initiatives, environmental stewardship and biodiversity conservation remain central to our long-term strategy. Building on the establishment of the Group's Biodiversity Policy in 2024, biodiversity considerations have been further embedded across planning, construction and operational activities. Our businesses have set short-, medium- and long-term commitments to enhance and restore habitats, integrate biodiversity net gain principles and mitigate ecological impacts. These efforts reflect our commitment to protecting natural capital while delivering essential infrastructure services.
The Group's businesses and investments across energy, transportation, water, waste management and related infrastructure are subject to extensive regulatory regimes in the jurisdictions in which they operate. These include frameworks governing gas and electricity distribution, environmental protection, energy efficiency and consumer protection. In key markets, applicable regulations include, for example, the Gas Act 1986 (and associated regulations) and Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations in the United Kingdom; the National Gas Law and Rules, Gas Distribution System Code and National Electricity (Victoria) Act 2005 in Australia; the European Union Energy Efficiency Directive in Europe; and the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario) and Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 in Canada. Each business operates within the scope of its applicable licences and regulatory obligations, and maintains compliance with relevant laws and regulations through established compliance frameworks. These include regular audits, ongoing internal reporting, formal compliance policies and procedures and continuous engagement with relevant regulatory authorities.
The Group continues to engage openly and transparently with key stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, regulators and local communities. Stakeholder input informs our strategic planning, operational improvements and sustainability disclosures. We continue to apply a double materiality approach to identify sustainability topics that are both financially material to the Group and impactful to society and the environment. Key priorities identified during the year include decarbonisation, hydrogen and renewable gas integration, climate resilience and adaptation, biodiversity protection, energy affordability and GHG emissions management.
The Group remains committed to delivering a just and inclusive transition. We recognise that the pathway to a low-carbon future must be orderly, equitable and accessible to all. Our Workforce Diversity Policy continues to guide efforts to foster an inclusive workplace that promotes diversity, gender equality and equal opportunity across all Group companies. Progress is monitored regularly, and training programmes are implemented to embed inclusive principles across our culture, strategy and processes.
Investment in human capital remains fundamental to our long-term resilience. Through structured training, apprenticeship programmes, leadership development and clear career progression pathways, we cultivate a skilled and future-ready workforce capable of navigating technological change and sustainability challenges.
Customer well-being and community resilience are equally important to our sustainability agenda. Our business units continue to implement measures to safeguard health, safety and service reliability, while providing transparent information regarding environmental and operational risks associated with our services. We actively support vulnerable customers through targeted assistance programmes and participation in initiatives such as the Priority Services Register in the UK, ensuring equitable access to essential services. Through community engagement forums and strategic partnerships, we aim to strengthen local resilience and address the root causes of energy affordability and social exclusion.
The Group also recognises the environmental and social impacts that may arise throughout the supply chain. Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") factors remain integral to supplier and contractor assessment processes. Regular monitoring, audits and performance evaluations are conducted to ensure alignment with our sustainability standards, with the majority of suppliers participating in formal assessment mechanisms. We continue to collaborate with suppliers to mitigate climate and biodiversity risks and enhance overall supply chain resilience.
Details of the Group's environmental policies and performance, compliance with relevant laws and regulations that have a significant impact on operations and engagement with key stakeholders are set out in the Sustainability Report. The Sustainability Report serves as a comprehensive repository of ESG-related information, including climate-related disclosures prepared in accordance with applicable regulatory and voluntary standards. While it is published as a standalone document, it demonstrates how climate and broader ESG considerations are integrated into our business strategies, governance framework and operational decision-making, reflecting our holistic approach to sustainable infrastructure investment and long-term value creation.
The Sustainability Report has been published on the Company's website (https://www.cki.com.hk), the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (https://www.hkexnews.hk) and the National Storage Mechanism (https://data.fca.org.uk/#/rem/nationalstoragemechanism) for inspection and download.
Results of the Group for the year ended 31st December, 2025 are set out in the Consolidated Income Statement on page 101.
The Directors recommend the payment of a final dividend of HK$1.88 per share which, together with the interim dividend of HK$0.73 per share paid on 24th September, 2025, makes the total dividend of HK$2.61 per share for the year.

The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge:
On behalf of the Board
VICTOR T K LI
Chairman
18th March, 2026
(incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability)
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") set out on pages 101 to 159, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31st December, 2025, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31st December, 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the "Code"), as applicable to audits of financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgement, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. The matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| We identified the valuation of interests in joint ventures as a key audit matter due to the significance of the Group's interests in joint ventures in the context of the Group's consolidated financial statements. | Our procedures in relation to the valuation of interests in joint ventures included: |
| As at 31st December, 2025, the carrying amount of interests in joint ventures amounted to HK$110,520 million as stated in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, which represented approximately 66% of the Group's total assets. | • Assessing the appropriateness of the management's accounting for interests in joint ventures; |
| As disclosed in note 3(e) to the consolidated financial statements, interests in joint ventures are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint ventures, less impairment in the values of individual investments. As such, the Group is required to assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of interests in joint ventures may be impaired. For those joint ventures in which such indication exists, the Group assessed the carrying amounts for impairment. | • Understanding and evaluating the management's process for identifying the existence of impairment indicators in respect of the interests in joint ventures; |
| • Where indicators of impairment have been identified, assessing the reasonableness of the recoverable amounts of each of the joint ventures and obtaining an understanding from the management of their financial position and future prospects; and | |
| • Understanding the management process for determining and assessing the reasonableness of key inputs and assumptions used by management in their estimation of recoverable amounts of those interests in joint ventures with impairment indicators, including projections of cash flows, growth rates and discount rates applied; and comparing cash flow projections to supporting evidence, such as approved budgets. |
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 90 of Bermuda Companies Act, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Hung Suk Fan (practising certificate number: P06148).

The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed in the section headed "Corporate Information" of the Annual Report of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"). The Company's ultimate holding company is CK Hutchison Holdings Limited ("CK Hutchison"), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.
The Group's principal activities are the development, investment and operation of infrastructure businesses in Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.
The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account of the available banking facilities and internal financial resources of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements within one year from the end of the reporting period. Hence, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") and HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on Hong Kong Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the material accounting policies set out below.
In the current year, the Group has adopted the amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB and HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the HKICPA that are effective to the Group for accounting period beginning on 1st January, 2025. The adoption of both amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and HKFRS Accounting Standards has no material impact on the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior years and does not result in any significant change in accounting policies of the Group.
The Group has not early adopted the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB and HKFRS Accounting Standards issued by the HKICPA that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group is continuing to assess the implication of the adoption of these standards. Except for the adoption of IFRS 18/HKFRS 18 which is expected to affect the presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and disclosures in the future consolidated financial statements, the Directors anticipate that the adoption of both new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and HKFRS Accounting Standards listed below will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the year together with the Group's interests in associates and joint ventures on the basis set out in (e) below.
The results of subsidiaries, share of results of associates and joint ventures acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the date the Group gains control/exercises significant influences/gains joint control until the date when the Group ceases to control/ceases to exercise significant influences/ceases to joint control, as appropriate.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In relation to business combination that took place on or after 1st January, 2010, goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries, and the fair value of the Group's previously held equity interests in the subsidiaries (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Goodwill recognised prior to 1st January, 2010 was measured as the excess of costs of acquisition over the net fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures acquired.
Goodwill is recognised as an asset less any identified impairment loss. Goodwill recognised in reserves prior to 1st January, 2001 continues to be held in the reserves and are transferred to retained profits when the business to which the goodwill relates is disposed of or becomes impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business acquisition. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation of intangible assets is provided over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:
| Brand name and trademarks | Indefinite useful lives |
|---|---|
| Customer contracts | Over the contract lives |
| Resource consents (excluding landfills) | 4% or over the contract lives |
| Computer software | 33% or over the license period |
| Operation license | 7% |
| Others | Indefinite useful lives or over the contract lives |
The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired through business combination are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The useful life of the resource consents for the landfills is dependent on the total capacity of the landfills, the level of tonnage of waste, the compacting rate and other variable. As such the landfills useful life is reassessed annually and the amortisation rate of the landfills resource consents is adjusted accordingly.
The carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually. The carrying amount of intangible assets with finite useful life is reviewed for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it has power over the investees; it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity; and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The acquisition of a subsidiary is accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. After 1st January, 2010, acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Prior to 1st January, 2010, any costs directly attributable to business combination were included as part of the cost of the acquisition.
The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, where appropriate, are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
An associate is a company, other than a subsidiary or joint venture, in which the Group has a long-term equity interest and over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence over its management, including participation in the financial and operating policy decisions.
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the venturers agree to share control of the arrangement which exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control, and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates/joint ventures are incorporated in the Group's consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates/joint ventures are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture, less impairment in the values of individual investments. Changes in net assets of the associate/joint venture other than profit or loss and other comprehensive income are not accounted for unless such changes resulted in changes in ownership interest held by the Group.
Losses of an associate/joint venture in excess of the Group's interest in that associate/joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate/joint venture) are not recognised.
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use, including costs of testing whether the related asset is functioning properly.
Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided to write off their depreciable amounts over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:
| Leasehold land | Over the unexpired lease term |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 2% to 3% or over the unexpired lease terms of the land, whichever is the higher |
| Mains, pipes, other plant and machinery | 3% to 26% or over the expected useful lives |
| Leased properties and others | Over the lease term or expected useful lives |
| Furniture, fixtures and others | 3% to 33% or over the expected useful lives |
When an asset is disposed of or retired, any gain or loss, representing the difference between the carrying value and the sales proceeds, if any, is included in the consolidated income statement.
Investment properties, which are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, are stated at its fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in the consolidated income statement for the period in which they arise.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, computed on a weighted-average or a first-in first-out basis as appropriate, and net realisable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and where applicable, cost of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less estimated costs to completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Equity securities and debt securities are classified as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" and "financial assets at amortised cost", respectively, according to the business model.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
Other investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9/HKFRS 9.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair values on the dates at which the contracts are entered into, and are remeasured to their fair values at subsequent reporting dates.
Hedging accounting relationships are aligned with the Group's risk management objectives and strategy.
Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments that are designated as effective in hedging future cash flows are recognised directly in hedging reserve. Amounts deferred in the equity are recycled in profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.
Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges are recognised directly in exchange translation reserve. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Cont'd)
Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting prospectively only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, including instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. Discontinuing hedge accounting can either affect a hedging relationship in its entirety or only a part of it, in which case hedge accounting continues for the remainder of the hedging relationship. Any cumulative gain or loss deferred in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the hedged risk associated with the hedged item is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss when a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur in relation to hedging of a forecast transaction.
Debtors
Debtors are classified as financial assets at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9/HKFRS 9, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Appropriate allowances for expected credit loss are recognised in the consolidated income statement to reflect the initial expected credit losses and the changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank and other loans
Interest-bearing bank and other loans are initially measured at fair values, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Creditors
Creditors are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Perpetual capital securities issued by the Group are classified as equity instruments and are initially recorded at the proceeds received.
Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values. It is subsequently measured at the higher of the initial fair value less subsequent amortisation and the amount of the expected loss determined in accordance with IFRS 9/HKFRS 9.
Fair value
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. Fair value of derivative financial instruments and certain financial assets not traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to fair value estimated by independent professionals or the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate.
Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss on financial assets and financial guarantee which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9/HKFRS 9. The amount of expected credit loss is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month expected credit loss represents the portion of lifetime expected credit loss that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit loss, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss.
The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

Sales of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied, which is recognised at a point in time, based on the timing of control of the goods underlying the particular performance obligation being transferred to the customer.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is arrived at after deduction of any sales returns and discounts and taxes.
Sales of services
Revenue from sales of services is recognised when a performance obligation is satisfied, which is recognised at a point in time, based on the timing of control of the services underlying the particular performance obligation being transferred to the customer.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset excluding financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.
The individual financial statements of each group entity is prepared and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("functional currency"). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the result and financial position of each entity are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency ("foreign currencies") are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was measured. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in the consolidated income statement for the year, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Group's net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair values are included in the consolidated income statement for the year except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated into Hong Kong dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that year, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as other comprehensive income and included in the Group's exchange translation reserve. Such translation differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement in the year in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in the exchange translation reserve.
Hong Kong Profits Tax is provided for at the prevailing tax rate on the estimated assessable profits less available tax relief for losses brought forward of each individual company comprising the Group. Overseas tax is provided for at the applicable local tax rates on the estimated assessable profits less available tax losses of the individual company concerned.
Deferred tax is provided for all temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit of the corresponding year. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit and at the time of the transaction does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

For lessees, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognised at the lease commencement date, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, or those low-value assets, which are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments with reference to an expected lease term, which includes optional lease periods when the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend or not to terminate the lease. The remaining lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Subsequently, lease liabilities are adjusted by interest accretion and lease payments. Lease payments are separated into principal portion and interest portion and presented within financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
At inception, the right-of-use assets comprise the initial lease liabilities, initial direct costs and the obligation to restore the asset, less any incentive granted by the lessor. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The carrying amount of right-of-use assets is reviewed for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. All impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The Group operates defined contribution and defined benefit retirement plans for its employees.
The costs of defined contribution plans are charged to the consolidated income statement as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
The cost of providing retirement benefits under the Group's defined benefit retirement plans is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out annually. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the consolidated statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained profits and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment or curtailment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The amount recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plans.
The Group's major financial instruments include other financial assets, derivative financial instruments, bank balances and deposits, bank and other loans, debtors and creditors. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily arising from foreign investments and borrowings denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of individual subsidiaries, which accounted for 4 per cent of the Group's borrowings (2024: 4 per cent). The Group generally hedges those investments with the appropriate level of borrowings denominated in the local currencies of relevant countries. The Group also entered into currency derivatives to hedge most foreign investments financed by internal resources. Given this, the management considers that the net exposure to currency risk is kept to an appropriate level. Details of the currency derivatives entered into by the Group at the end of the reporting period are set out in note 20.
The Group is also exposed to currency risk arising from bank deposits denominated in foreign currencies, which accounted for 87 per cent of the Group's bank balances and deposits at the end of the reporting period (2024: 75 per cent). Those bank balances and deposits are mainly denominated in United States dollars, Australian dollars, Pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Euros and Renminbi. The management maintains the portfolio of bank deposits denominated in different currencies and the exposure to currency risk is kept to an appropriate level.
The following table indicates the approximate change in the Group's profit for the year and other comprehensive income in response to a 5 per cent strengthening in foreign currencies (except for United States dollars) against Hong Kong dollars to which the Group has significant exposure related to monetary financial assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments in existence at the end of the reporting period:
| HK$ million | 2025 | 2024 | ||

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Sensitivity analysis (Cont'd)
A 5 per cent weakening in the above foreign currencies against Hong Kong dollars would have had an equal but opposite effect on the Group's profit for the year and other comprehensive income.
The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign exchange rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to each of the Group's entities exposure to currency risk for both monetary financial assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments in existence at that date, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.
The stated changes represent management's assessment of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates over the period until the end of the next reporting period. In this respect, the management does not expect any significant movements in the pegged rate of 7.8 between the United States dollars and Hong Kong dollars. It is also assumed that such pegged rate would be materially unaffected by any changes in movement in value of the United States dollars against other currencies.
The Group's interest rate risk relates primarily to floating rate borrowings and deposits. In relation to these floating rate borrowings, the management aims at keeping borrowings at fixed rates at appropriate level by entering into interest rate swaps. In order to achieve this result, the Group entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against certain exposures to changes in interest rates of the borrowings.
Details of the Group's interest rate swaps and borrowings entered into by the Group at the end of the reporting period are set out in notes 20 and 25, respectively.
Sensitivity analysis
At 31st December, 2025, it is estimated that a general increase of 100 basis points in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group's profit for the year by HK$62 million (2024: HK$27 million). Other comprehensive income would increase by HK$205 million (2024: HK$4 million) in response to the general increase in interest rates. A decrease of 100 basis points in interest rate would have had an equal but opposite effect on the Group's profit for the year and other comprehensive income.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to the exposure to interest rate risk for both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments in existence at that date. The 100 basis points increase represents management's assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the period until the end of the next reporting period.
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to derivative financial instruments entered into for hedging purposes, bank balances and deposits, trade debtors and other receivables.
In respect of trade debtors and other receivables, local management teams of subsidiaries are responsible for monitoring the procedures to ensure that follow-up actions are taken to recover overdue debts of the subsidiaries. In addition, the teams perform impairment assessment under expected credit loss model based on provision matrix or individual assessment on each debt at the end of the reporting period in relation to waste management services and sales of infrastructure materials to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral covering the outstanding balances.
The Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit loss, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss.
The estimated loss rates are estimated based on historically observed default rates over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
Transactions involving derivative financial instruments and liquid funds are also with banks or financial institutions of high credit standing.
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties' failure to perform their obligations at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group does not provide any guarantees which would expose the Group to credit risk.
Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group's exposure to credit risk arising from trade debtors and other receivables are set out in note 23.
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers.
The Group's treasury activities are centralised to achieve better risk control and minimise the cost of funds. Cash is generally placed in short-term deposits mostly denominated in United States dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars, Pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Euros and Renminbi. The management aims to maintain a balance between continuity of adequate funding and the flexibility through the use of bank and other borrowings. The Group's liquidity and financing requirements are reviewed regularly to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management will consider new financing while maintaining appropriate gearing for new investments and refinancing of existing debts.

The Group is exposed to other price risk through its investments in securities and other investments as set out in note 19. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. For strategic purposes, the Group holds primarily equity or debt instruments operating in energy sector.
At 31st December, 2025, it is estimated that a 5 per cent decrease in the prices of the respective instruments, with all other variables held constant, would decrease the Group's profit for the year by HK$62 million (2024: HK$77 million). A 5 per cent increase in prices would have had an equal but opposite effect on the Group's profit for the year and other comprehensive income.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in prices had occurred at the end of the reporting period and had been applied to the exposure to price risk for the Group's investments in securities and other investments at fair value in existence at that date (as set out in note 19). The 5 per cent decrease in prices represents management's assessment of a reasonably possible change in the prices of those instruments over the period until the end of the next reporting period.
Except for certain investments in securities which are stated at cost, the carrying values of all financial assets and financial liabilities approximate to their fair values.
The fair value of the Group's financial instruments and non-financial instruments are grouped into Level 1 to 3 with reference to the observability and significance of the inputs used in the valuation technique as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
At 31st December, 2025, investment properties amounting to HK$381 million (2024: HK$389 million) and unlisted investment in securities amounting to HK$46 million (2024: HK$350 million) were measured at fair value based on value inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Other investments amounting to HK$1,189 million (2024: HK$1,189 million) were measured at fair value based on value inputs that are not observable market data but change of these value inputs to reasonable possible alternatives would not have material effect on the Group's results and financial position.
Derivative financial instruments were measured at fair value based on value inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Significant estimates and assumptions concerning the future may be required in selecting and applying the appropriate accounting methods and policies in the financial statements. The Group bases its estimates and judgements on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under various circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and judgements under different assumptions and conditions.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is any indication of impairment which required the Group to estimate the value in use of the relevant cash-generating unit. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the relevant cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate is used in order to calculate the present value. The carrying value of goodwill as at 31st December, 2025 is HK$799 million (2024: HK$760 million). Details of the impairment testing of goodwill are disclosed in note 21.
Impairment testing of intangible assets requires significant judgement and estimate. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually and intangible assets with definite useful lives are tested for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and the assets are subject to an impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposals and value in use. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the relevant cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate is used in order to calculate the present value. The carrying value of intangible assets as at 31st December, 2025 is HK$1,291 million (2024: HK$1,265 million).
Turnover represents net sales of infrastructure materials, interest income from loans granted to associates and joint ventures, sales of waste management services and share of turnover of joint ventures. Sales of infrastructure materials and waste management services were substantially recognised at a point in time.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released the Pillar Two model rules (the Global Anti-Base Erosion Proposal) for a new global minimum tax reform applicable to multinational enterprise groups with annual revenues of at least €750 million. CK Hutchison, the ultimate holding company of the Group, is in scope of this Pillar Two tax reform.
Following the enactment of the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (Minimum Tax for Multinational Enterprise Groups) Ordinance 2025 in Hong Kong, Pillar Two legislation has been enacted and is effective in most of the jurisdictions where the Group has operations for the financial year beginning on 1st January, 2025.
In 2023, the IASB and HKICPA made amendments to IAS 12 and HKAS 12 which provided temporary relief from the requirement to recognise and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The Group has applied the mandatory temporary exception from recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
Under OECD's Pillar Two model rules, a top-up tax liability would arise when the effective tax rate in a jurisdiction is below 15%. Based on the information available, current tax exposure or impact on the Group's income tax position is not material for the relevant jurisdictions which have Pillar Two legislation enacted.
The Group would continue to assess the impact of the Pillar Two income taxes legislation on its future financial performance.

For the purpose of impairment test, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is determined based on value in use calculations.
The Group prepared its cash flow projections of each cash-generating unit based on the latest approved budget plus extrapolated cash flows for the subsequent 4 years (2024: 4 years) except for a landfill where the whole life model is used. Cash flow projections for each cash-generating unit are based on the expected terminal growth rate of 3 per cent (2024: 3 per cent). The Group considers that cash flow projections of 5 years (2024: 5 years) are appropriate as they entered long-term contracts with customers.
The model uses a terminal value which is equal to eight to ten times of earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation and discount rate of 8.1 per cent to 9.1 per cent (2024: 8.5 per cent to 9.8 per cent). The impairment test of its assets is then assessed using the value in use for each cash-generating unit. Based on impairment tests prepared, there is no impairment for goodwill as at 31st December, 2025 and 2024.

Trade with customers is carried out largely on credit, except for new customers, residential customers of waste management services and customers with unsatisfactory payment records, where payment in advance is normally required. Invoices are normally due within 1 month of issuance, except for certain well-established customers, where the terms are extended to 2 months, and certain customers with disputed items, where the terms are negotiated individually. Each customer has a maximum credit limit, which was granted and approved by senior management in accordance with the laid-down credit review policy and procedures.
During the year ended 31st December, 2025, the Group measured the loss allowance based on provision matrix or individual assessment under the expected credit loss model.
The Group used average loss rates ranging from 0 to 55.77 per cent (2024: from 0 to 32.23 per cent) for provision matrix assessment. The average loss rates were estimated based on historically observed default rates of the debtors and were adjusted for any forward-looking information that was available without undue cost or effort.
The movement in the loss allowance during the year is as follows:

In addition, the management of the Company also provides the Directors with monthly updates and other information in order to enable the Directors to keep abreast of the business affairs of the Group and be involved in scrutinizing the Group's performance in achieving the Group's corporate goals and objectives.
During the year ended 31st December, 2025, in addition to full Board meetings, the Chairman held two meetings with the Independent Non-executive Directors without the presence of other Directors (in May and November of 2025). The attendance record is set out below:

Note:
As at 31st December, 2025 and as at the date of this Annual Report, six out of the sixteen members of the Board are Independent Non-executive Directors accounting for approximately $37.5%$ of the Board. Separation of the roles of the Chairman and the Co-Managing Directors ensures there is a balance of power and authority. The Audit Committee, the Nomination Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Sustainability Committee (with effect from 1st November, 2025) are chaired by Independent Non-executive Directors. The Audit Committee comprises Independent Non-executive Directors only. Independent Non-executive Directors comprise a majority of each of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee. A majority of the Directors sitting on the Sustainability Committee are Independent Non-executive Directors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
The Independent Non-executive Directors exercise their independent judgement on issues of strategy, policy, performance, accountability, resources, key appointments and standards of conduct of the Company. The Independent Non-executive Directors help review the Board's major decisions, the Company's financial and operational performance and monitor performance reporting on a regular basis. During the year ended 31st December, 2025, through their participation at the Company's annual general meeting, Board and Board Committee meetings and perusal of reports by and having dialogues with the management, the Independent Non-executive Directors attended to affairs relating to internal audit and controls, corporate governance, directors' appointments, acquisitions and divestments, accounting and financial matters, regulatory compliance, and strategic and sustainability policies of the Company.
The independence of the Independent Non-executive Directors is assessed according to the relevant requirements under the HK Listing Rules. Each Independent Non-executive Director is reminded to inform the Company and HK Stock Exchange as soon as practicable if there is any change that may affect his/her independence. Each Independent Non-executive Director has provided the Company with an annual confirmation of independence taking into account the factors referred to in Rule 3.13 of the HK Listing Rules. Independent Non-executive Directors receive fixed fees for their appointments as members of the Board and additional fees for sitting on each Board Committee. None of such fees are based on the performance of the Group. None of the Independent Non-executive Directors are financially dependent on the Group.
The Board considers that a Director's independence is a question of fact and that cross-directorships do not necessarily result in significant links with other directors or compromise the independence of an Independent Non-executive Director. Instead, the experience of serving on other listed boards broadens a Director's perspective and enriches a Director's contributions to Board discussions. The Independent Non-executive Directors are skilled and experienced professionals with high esteem and integrity who possess expertise in their specific fields, and financial independence. The Independent Non-executive Directors are able to provide independent and constructive views with respect to the Company's matters and challenges to the management and other Directors as circumstances require. On 1st January, 2026, one new Independent Non-executive Director was appointed to the Board according to the Company's Bye-laws, Director Nomination Policy and Board Diversity Policy. The Board is of the view that all Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company meet the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the HK Listing Rules.
The following paragraphs provide a summary of the mechanism maintained by the Company to ensure independent views and input are available to the Board.
The Company recognises that a balanced composition secures strong independence on the Board and the Board Committees. Pursuant to the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy, the Board, through the Nomination Committee, reviews and assesses the profile of a candidate for directorship with a view to achieving a balance of skill set, experience, expertise and diversity of perspectives appropriate for the strategies of the Company. To maintain the desired independence, the Company assesses the independence of the Independence Non-executive Directors periodically on the Board in accordance with the requirements of the HK Listing Rules.
The Chairman encourages Directors with different views to voice their concerns to promote diversity of thought and independence of judgement. The management of the Company provides the Directors with all relevant documents and information in a timely manner, with a view to enabling the Directors to discharge their duties, understand key issues, exercise independent judgement, contribute to discussions and make informed decisions. To facilitate these objectives, the Directors are entitled to seek further information from the management on the matters to be discussed at meetings of the Board or Board Committees, and/or to seek assistance from the Company Secretary who will be co-ordinating between the Directors and the management to deal with any queries from the Directors, or seek assistance from external professional advisers at the Company's expense.
In addition, the two meetings held every year between the Chairman and Independent Non-executive Directors without the presence of the other Directors provide an exclusive platform for Independent Non-executive Directors to raise concerns, exchange views and discuss issues about the Company or its business, such as corporate governance enhancement, efficiency of the Board and any other matters they may wish to discuss without the presence of the Executive Directors and the management.
The Company considers board performance evaluation as an essential tool for assessing Board effectiveness. The Board conducted an internal board and committees performance evaluation for 2025 with assistance from the Company Secretary and the authorised officers. Each Director participated in the evaluation by completing a questionnaire to provide individual ratings and comments across a range of topics and identify areas for enhancement (if any). The evaluation parameters included, amongst others, board composition and expertise, board processes, board accountability and leadership, and continuous development. The findings of the evaluation were aggregated and presented to the Nomination Committee and the Board respectively in March 2026. The results show that the Directors consider the composition of the Board and Board Committees is appropriate, and they are satisfied with the performance of the Board and Board Committees.
The Directors disclosed to the Company at the time of appointment their other significant commitments, such as the number and nature of offices held in public companies or organisations. Each Director has provided the Company with an annual confirmation that he/she has given sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company and has disclosed to the Company in a timely manner changes, if any, in the number and nature of offices he/she held in public companies or organisations and his/her other significant external time commitments, for the year ended 31st December, 2025. The Company considers that there has been satisfactory attendance of the Directors at the Company's general meeting, Board meetings, Board Committee meetings and, with respect to the Independent Non-executive Directors, the meetings between the Chairman and the Independent Non-executive Directors during the year ended 31st December, 2025. Executive Directors have hands-on knowledge and expertise in the areas and operations of which they are in charge. Appropriate attention to the affairs of the Company is measured in terms of time as well as the quality of such attention, the ability of the Directors to contribute with reference to their areas of knowledge, skills and expertise and the ability to bring global perspectives to the Company. The Independent Non-executive Directors have consistently demonstrated their commitment to being fully engaged with the Company's affairs both inside and outside the boardroom, and their ability to devote sufficient time to the Board. The Company considers that the Independent Non-executive Directors have made a positive contribution to the development of the Group's strategy and policies through independent, constructive and informed comments.

Shortly before the appointment takes effect, a prospective Director receives a comprehensive induction package comprising a policy handbook containing the Company's corporate governance and sustainability policies and procedures, as well as training materials prepared by the Company's external legal advisers, providing an overview of directors' duties and obligations under the HK Listing Rules and other relevant legal and regulatory requirements. The Company instructs its external legal advisers to give a briefing session to take a prospective Director through all the directors' duties and responsibilities under the applicable laws and regulations, and other requirements under the HK Listing Rules and the applicable Listing Rules of London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE") ("UK Listing Rules") that are applicable to him/her as a Director, before the appointment is effective. Senior executives and responsible officers provide newly appointed Directors with orientation briefings on the roles of a member of the Board and Board Committees and on the Group's structure, business outlook and strategy, financial reporting and accounting practice, risk management and governance framework, where applicable. The Company Secretary and the authorised officers liaise proactively with newly appointed Directors before and after their appointments to facilitate their discharge of duties and responsibilities as Directors of the Company. A new Independent Non-executive Director was appointed on 1st January, 2026. A firm of solicitors, which is qualified to advise on Hong Kong and UK law as regards the requirements under the HK Listing Rules and UK Listing Rules that are applicable to a Director of the Company and the possible consequences of making a false declaration or giving false information to the HK Stock Exchange, provided the requisite legal advice to the proposed Director before her appointment in a briefing session held on 18th December, 2025, and such proposed Director confirmed she understood her obligations as a Director of the Company before her appointment.
All Directors are required to participate in continuous professional development ("CPD"). The Company has a long history of organising and providing Directors with tailored CPD training, at the cost of the Company, to enable the Directors to develop and refresh their knowledge and skills on the roles, functions and duties of a listed company director and discharge their duties and responsibilities for the benefit of the Company. The Company has been organising in-house seminars on an annual basis for the Directors together with directors of other companies of the entire CK Group. The Company Secretary and the authorised officers of the Company also assist the Directors, on an individual basis, from time to time upon request in handling any regulatory, compliance or governance issues that the Directors may come across in the performance of their duties and responsibilities.
Throughout the year ended 31st December, 2025, the Directors have participated in CPD to keep abreast of the latest developments in areas including laws and regulations, the HK Listing Rules and other applicable laws and regulations, governance and sustainability practices, directors' duties, risk management and internal control, and industry-specific and innovative changes in the markets in which the Group operates.
During the year ended 31st December, 2025, the Directors attended CPD training organised by the Company and other CPD training attended to by respective directors on their own initiatives. The CPD training including but not limited to following topics:
(a) the roles, functions and responsibilities of the Board, its committees and its Directors, and Board effectiveness; (b) the Company's obligations and Directors' duties under Hong Kong law and the HK Listing Rules, and key legal and regulatory developments (including HK Listing Rules updates) relevant to the discharge of such obligations and duties; (c) corporate governance and ESG matters (including developments on sustainability or climate related risks and opportunities relevant to the Company); (d) risk management and internal controls; and (e) updates on industry-specific developments, business trends and strategies relevant to the Company.

All Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Code regarding their dealings in securities of the Company during the year ended 31st December, 2025.

The Company has adopted a policy on handling of confidential information, information disclosure, and securities dealing, applicable to the Group's employees when they are in possession of confidential or inside information in relation to the Group. The policy satisfies the requirements under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the HK Listing Rules. The Policy also satisfies the UK Listing Rules, the UK Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the UK Market Abuse Regulation and other applicable laws and regulations following the Company's Secondary Listing on the main market for listed securities of LSE.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
Reporting to the Chairman, the Company Secretary advises the Board on corporate governance and other regulatory compliance matters. The Company Secretary assists the Board with the development and maintenance of a sound and effective corporate governance framework, including robust risk management and internal control systems to reinforce regulatory compliance and good corporate governance practices. The Company Secretary further assists the Board in fostering a strong compliance culture to meet regulatory and shareholder expectations.
The Company Secretary is responsible for keeping the Board abreast of developments in the law, rules and regulations that may affect the Company's business and operations. The Company Secretary also assists the Board in monitoring the Company's compliance with Board procedures and the requirements under the HK Listing Rules, the relevant UK Listing Rules following the Company's Secondary Listing on the main market for listed securities of LSE and other applicable laws, rules and regulations. From time to time, the Company Secretary organises induction and regular training, and prepares briefing materials for Directors and the management of the Company, to provide them with continuous training on regulatory developments or specific topics of relevance to the business of the Company.
The Company Secretary provides compliance advice to the Board and management in the Company's decision making process, and works closely with the Board, in particular the Executive Directors, and the management in the formulation and implementation of the Company's policies and procedures which reflect the values underlying the Company's corporate culture developed over the years in support of the application of the strategy to achieve the Company's purpose. The Company Secretary assists the Board and Board Committees in aligning the desired corporate culture with the Company's purpose, values and strategy.
As part of the Company's efforts to maintain effective and meaningful engagement with stakeholders, the Company Secretary, in collaboration with the Executive Directors and the management of the Company, acts as a crucial conduit of communications within the Board, between the Board and the management, between the Board and the Company's business units and departments, and between the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders. In doing so, the Company Secretary facilitates a good channel of communication between the Company and its shareholders, and also assists and works with the Board and the management in responding to inquiries from the regulators in a timely manner. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary in order to ensure that Board procedures, and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, are complied with.
The Company Secretary and the authorised officers prepare written resolutions and minutes and keeps records of substantive matters discussed and decisions resolved at all Board and Board Committee meetings. Minutes of all meetings of the Board and Board Committees record in sufficient detail the matters considered and decisions reached by the Board or Board Committees. Draft and final versions of the minutes are sent to all Directors or Board Committee members as appropriate for comments and for their records within a reasonable time after each Board or Board Committee meeting. Such minutes and resolutions are available for inspection by Directors or Board Committee members upon request.
The Company Secretary of the Company has been appointed since the listing of the Company. Except for a brief period of approximately four months during which the position had taken up by her then deputy. The appointment and dismissal of the Company Secretary is subject to the Board's approval. The Company Secretary has confirmed that she has complied with all the required qualifications, experience and training requirements under the HK Listing Rules as at 31st December, 2025.
Directors are provided with a review of the Group's major business activities and key financial information on a quarterly basis. Monthly updates are provided to all members of the Board, for the purpose of providing a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company's financial and operating performance, position and prospects in sufficient detail to enable the Board as a whole and each Director to discharge their duties. Sufficient explanation and information is provided to the Board to enable Directors to make an informed assessment of the financial and other information put before the Board for approval.
The Directors acknowledge in writing on an annual basis their responsibility for preparing the financial statements of the Group. With the assistance of the Company's Finance and Accounting Department which is under the supervision of the Chief Financial Officer and General Manager being a professional accountant, the Directors ensure the financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements and applicable accounting standards, and published in a timely manner. Directors are not aware of any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The statement by the auditor of the Company regarding its reporting responsibilities on the consolidated financial statements of the Group is provided in the Independent Auditor's Report on pages 97 to 100.
The Board presents a clear, balanced and understandable assessment of the Group's performance and financial position in the Group's annual and interim reports and other financial disclosures required by the HK Listing Rules, the relevant UK Listing Rules (following the Company's Secondary Listing on the main market for listed securities of LSE), and in other reports to the regulators or information disclosed under applicable statutory requirements. The Board is aware of and updated with the requirements under the applicable rules and regulations about timely disclosure of information or matters regarding the Company and will authorise the publication of such announcements as and when the occasion arises. The Company Secretary and the authorised officers together with the Finance and Accounting Department work closely and in consultation with professional advisers to review the materiality and sensitivity of transactions and proposed transactions and advise the Board accordingly.
The Company issues half-yearly financial results within two months after the end of the relevant period, and annual financial results within three months after the end of the relevant year.

All significant transactions and inside information are announced and disclosed in accordance with the HK Listing Rules and the relevant UK Listing Rules following the Company's Secondary Listing on the main market for listed securities of LSE during the year. The shareholders of the Company are therefore able to assess the performance, financial position and prospects of the Company.

Given regular Board meetings are held quarterly to review major business and financial information, the Company does not consider it necessary, nor is it in the interests of the Company and its shareholders, to issue quarterly financial results. This would incur costs disproportionate to any additional benefits to the shareholders.
The Audit Committee comprises five members, all of whom are Independent Non-executive Directors, with more than one of the members possessing appropriate professional qualifications, or accounting or related financial management expertise. No members of the Audit Committee are former partners of the existing auditing firm of the Company who have ceased to be partners of such firm or ceased to have financial interest in such firm for less than two years.
The Audit Committee is chaired by Mr. Paul Joseph Tighe with Mr. Cheong Ying Chew, Henry, Mrs. Sng Sow-mei alias Poon Sow Mei, Mr. Lan Hong Tsung, David and Ms. Koh Poh Wah as members. The Audit Committee held four meetings in March, May, August and November of 2025. The Company's external auditor was invited to attend all the meetings held in 2025. During the year ended 31st December, 2025, the Audit Committee held two private sessions with the external auditor and internal auditor respectively without the presence of management. Attendance record of the members of the Audit Committee in 2025 is as follows:

Minutes of the Audit Committee meetings are kept by the Company Secretary. Draft minutes of the meetings of the Audit Committee are circulated to members within a reasonable time after each meeting for their review and comments and the signed minutes are shared with the members for reference.
The terms of reference of the Audit Committee are updated from time to time in accordance with the provisions set out in the CG Code and are made available on the websites of the Company and HKEX.

Under the Audit Committee's terms of reference, the role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board to fulfill its duties through the review and supervision of the Company's financial reporting, risk management and internal control systems and to take on any other responsibility as may be delegated by the Board from time to time.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
The Board has the overall responsibility for the Group's risk management and internal control systems and for reviewing their effectiveness. The Board considers that such systems are designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve strategic and business objectives, and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The Group operates an Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") framework aligned with the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission) framework. The ERM framework provides a consistent approach to identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing current and emerging risks, including financial, operational, compliance and sustainability-related and environmental, social and governance ("ESG") risks.
The risk management and internal control systems are designed to:
Climate-related risks and opportunities are considered within the ERM framework and are assessed, monitored and reported through the governance processes applied to the Group's principal risks.
In reviewing the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems, the Board considered management's self-assessments, Internal Audit's independent findings, remediation progress and observations from the external auditors. The Board recognises that certain risks are inherently higher in nature and require ongoing management attention and continuous enhancement of controls.
The Audit Committee, under delegated authority from the Board, oversees the ERM framework and the effectiveness of the Group's risk management and internal control systems. The Audit Committee reviews the Group's risk profile on a half-yearly basis, with particular focus on:
The governance roles, reporting lines and flow of information supporting the ERM framework are clearly defined. Using a top-down and bottom-up approach, risks identified by each business unit are evaluated for inclusion in the Group Risk Register where they are considered significant at Group level. The Group Risk Register forms part of the Risk Management and Internal Control Report, which is reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee on a half-yearly basis on behalf of the Board.
Each business unit performs a half-yearly risk assessment to identify and assess key risks to the achievement of its objectives, review the effectiveness of related controls and agree on appropriate action plans. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of each business unit provide formal confirmations on the adequacy and effectiveness of their risk management and internal control systems and report any identified control deficiencies. These confirmations are reviewed by the Audit Committee, with support from Internal Audit, and the results are reported to the Board.
The Sustainability Committee supports the Board in overseeing the Group's sustainability strategy, policies and initiatives, including climate- and ESG-related matters, and in monitoring progress against relevant sustainability objectives. Sustainability-related risks are considered within the Group's ERM framework, and matters relating to sustainability strategy and risk oversight are addressed through appropriate coordination between the Sustainability Committee and the Audit Committee.
The Group maintains standards of business integrity, honesty and transparency, and regularly reviews its corporate governance and sustainability policies at Group level. Each business unit or subsidiary adopts policies and procedures appropriate to its operations and risk profile.
The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, also reviewed whether the Group has adequate resources to support the design, implementation and ongoing monitoring of its risk management and internal control systems. This review covered, among other matters, the qualifications and experience of staff, training, budgets and resources for the accounting, financial reporting and Internal Audit functions, as well as the Group's ESG performance and reporting arrangements.
The Group has established procedures and internal controls for the handling of inside information to support compliance with statutory and regulatory disclosure obligations.
These procedures:
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
The Internal Audit function provides independent and objective assurance to support the Board and management in the effective discharge of their risk management and internal control responsibilities. Internal Audit adopts a risk-based approach to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of key controls across financial, operational and compliance areas.
The Head of Internal Audit reports functionally to the Audit Committee and administratively to the Deputy Chairman and Co-Managing Director, thereby maintaining appropriate independence and objectivity.
Internal Audit prepares a risk-based audit plan with reference to the Group's risk profile, principal and emerging risks and prior audit results. The annual audit plan and any material changes thereto are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. Internal Audit monitors the implementation of agreed remediation actions and reports audit results and progress to management and the Audit Committee on a regular basis, supporting the Board's oversight of the Group's risk management and internal control systems.

The following is a summary of the work of the Nomination Committee during 2025:
In March 2026, the Nomination Committee has assessed each Director's time commitment and contribution to the Board as well as the Director's ability to discharge his/her responsibilities effectively, taking into account professional qualifications and work experience, existing directorships in Hong Kong listed issuers and other significant external time commitments of that Director and other factors, and considering Board performance evaluation results, CPD training records, Board and Board Committee attendance records and other circumstances relevant to that Director's character, integrity, independence and experience. The Nomination Committee is satisfied with the overall performance of the Board and is of the view that each Director discharges his/her responsibilities effectively, and that the Directors' skills, expertise and qualifications as showed in the Board skills matrix are aligned with the Company's business needs and strategic goals.
The Nomination Committee is provided with sufficient resources to perform its duties. The Nomination Committee is empowered by the Board to seek information they require from the management of the Company in order to perform their duties and to have access to independent professional advice at the Company's expense, through the Company Secretary, where necessary.

The Board has an appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirement of the Company's business and relevant to the Company's purpose, values, strategies and corporate culture.
As provided in the Company's Board Diversity Policy, the Board takes the following approach to achieving diversity on the Board appropriate for the Company's purpose, values, strategy and corporate culture.
A workforce diversity policy is in place to promote an inclusive and supportive working environment for the Group's employees, such that individual differences are respected and employees are treated with dignity. The Company is also committed to fostering gender empowerment, gender equality and gender diversity across its workforce, and providing equal opportunities in relation to recruitment, training and development, compensation, and career and promotion opportunities.
In January 2026, one additional female Independent Non-executive Director was appointed to the Board. There are currently five female Directors, representing about $31.25%$ of the Board. The Board is of the view that gender should not be the only driving factor in considering a candidate for the Board. The Company will follow the Board Diversity Policy and the Director Nomination Policy to take into account various factors to identify suitable candidates for appointment to the Board, and may adjust the proportion of female directors over time as and when appropriate. As at 31st December, 2025 and as at the date of this Annual Report, the ratio of female to male of the key personnel of the Group and all the Directors of the Company was 29:71. As at 31st December, 2025, the ratio of female to male in the workforce of the Group was 21:79. Notwithstanding the foregoing, gender diversity may be less relevant to the Group's infrastructure business due to the nature of business.
Further details on the gender ratio and initiatives taken to improve gender diversity across management and the wider workforce, together with relevant data, can be found in the 2025 Sustainability Report of the Company, which will be published together with this Annual Report.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
All Directors (including Independent Non-executive Directors) are subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Retiring Directors are eligible for re-election by shareholders at general meetings in accordance with the Company's Bye-laws and the CG Code. Each Director who is subject to retirement by rotation will be appointed by a separate resolution at the Company's annual general meeting.
Where a retiring Director, being eligible, offers himself/herself for re-election at the annual general meeting, the Nomination Committee will consider and, if appropriate, recommend to the Board that such retiring Director be recommended for re-election by the shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting. When formulating such recommendations, the Nomination Committee will take into consideration the Company's Bye-laws, Director Nomination Policy and Board Diversity Policy, as well as, in the case of a retiring Independent Non-executive Director, his/her biographical details and diversity profile, and the contributions and independent view he/she can bring to the Board. A member of the Nomination Committee abstains from voting on the resolutions of the Nomination Committee for considering his/her own nomination.
Three Executive Directors, namely Mr. Victor T K Li, Mr. Fok Kin Ning, Canning and Ms. Chen Tsien Hua, and three Independent Non-executive Directors, namely Mrs. SNG Sow-mei alias POON Sow Mei, Mr. Paul Joseph Tighe and Ms. Koh Poh Wah, will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-elections at the forthcoming annual general meeting. Each retiring Independent Non-executive Director eligible for re-election at the annual general meeting makes a confirmation of independence taking into account the independence factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the HK Listing Rules. The Board has opined in its circular for 2026 annual general meeting that the retiring Independent Non-executive Director, eligible for re-election, meet the independence factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the HK Listing Rules and are independent.
The Board assesses a Director's independence on a case-by-case basis with reference to the Director's business acumen, experience in related industries, professional qualification, international business exposure and the nature of the businesses of the Company. The Board considers that a Director's independence should not be only defined by his/her tenure on the Board. A Director who has over time gained in-depth insight into the Company's operations and its markets are well-positioned to offer his/her perspective and advice for discussions on the Board. Long serving directors can bring valuable contributions to the Company with their comprehensive understanding of the operations of the Company, in particular the infrastructure businesses which typically have a long return on investment period.
The Nomination Committee has taken into account the respective contributions of the retiring Independent Non-executive Directors to the Board and his/her commitment to his/her role as Independent Non-executive Director. The retiring Independent Non-executive Directors have demonstrated his/her ability to provide independent views to the Company's matters and have brought in fresh perspectives, skills and knowledge gained from his/her other directorships and appointments on an ongoing basis. The Nomination Committee is satisfied that the retiring Independent Non-executive Directors possess the required integrity and the wealth of skills, knowledge and experience that have enabled his/her to continue contributing meaningfully and objectively to the Board as an Independent Non-executive Director and the independence of the retiring Independent Non-executive Directors from the management has not been impaired by years of service. Based on the biographical information disclosed to the Company, none of the retiring Independent Non-executive Directors holds more than six listed company directorships. During his/her tenure as Independent Non-executive Director, the retiring Independent Non-executive Directors have not been involved in the daily management of the Company or financially dependent on the Company which would materially interfere with the exercise of independent judgement. There is no evidence that his/her tenure has compromised his/her continued independence.
The nomination of the retiring Directors have been made in accordance with the Director Nomination Policy of the Company. The Nomination Committee is of the view that the retiring Directors are appropriate to stand for re-election and that their re-appointment will enhance the Board's diversity and performance, and accordingly recommends them for re-election at the forthcoming annual general meeting. One of the Nomination Committee members, being one of the retiring Directors abstained from voting at the Nomination Committee meeting regarding his nomination.
The Board, having considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, is of the view that the retiring Directors are able to continue to generate significant contributions to the Company and the shareholders as a whole, and has accepted the nomination by the Nomination Committee and recommends the retiring Directors for re-election by the shareholders at the forthcoming annual general meeting. The Board considers that the re-election of the retiring Directors as Directors is in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders as a whole. The retiring Directors abstained from voting at the Nomination Committee meeting and the Board meeting, where applicable, regarding their respective nominations.
As at 31st December, 2025 and up to the date of this Annual Report, two of the Independent Non-executive Directors have served the Board for not more than nine years and one of which will be serving the Board more than nine years in late April 2026. In accordance with the CG Code, if and when all the Independent Non-executive Directors have served on the Board for more than nine years, a circular containing the required information on the existing Independent Non-executive Directors will be sent to the shareholders together with the notice of the annual general meeting, and a new Independent Non-executive Director will be appointed at the forthcoming annual general meeting as required by the CG Code and the HK Listing Rules.
A majority of the members of the Company's Remuneration Committee are Independent Non-executive Directors. The Remuneration Committee is chaired by Mr. Cheong Ying Chew, Henry, an Independent Non-executive Director, with another Independent Non-executive Director, Mrs. Sing Sow-mei alias Poon Sow Mei and the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Victor T K Li as members.
As reported in the last corporate governance report, a meeting of the Remuneration Committee was held in January 2025. Since the publication of the Annual Report 2024 in April 2025, a meeting of the Remuneration Committee was held in January 2026. Attendance record is as follows:

The Remuneration Committee's fee recommendations have been approved by the Board, and will be submitted for the shareholders' approval at the Company's 2026 annual general meeting.
The Remuneration Committee, in assessing remuneration proposals (including those of Executive Directors, management and other employees), has taken into account the progress of the Company's performance towards achieving short and long term climate-related sustainability metrics and targets as adopted by the Company from time to time, and the Company's performance in other matters, such as climate and environment, and health and safety, against applicable metrics and targets as adopted by the Company from time to time.
The Remuneration Committee is satisfied that there is in place a clear system for determining remunerations, that is reasonable and has been followed consistently in its application.
No Director or any of his/her associates was involved in deciding his/her own remuneration at the meeting of the Remuneration Committee held in January 2026. The recommendations made by the Remuneration Committee were endorsed by the Board in March 2026.
The remuneration packages of the Executive Directors and senior management are determined with reference to the skills, knowledge, experience, involvement in the Company's affairs and the performance of the individuals, taking into account the corporate goals and objectives of the Board resolved from time to time, the expected overall performance of the Group's businesses, market trends (including market data and the prevailing market conditions during that year), and whether the current remuneration programme effectively aligns executive pay and performance. A significant proportion of the Executive Directors' remuneration packages has been structured to link rewards to corporate and individual performance. The Company does not have any share option scheme in place. The Board has resolved that the senior management of the Company comprises the Executive Directors of the Company only. Please refer to note 33 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the remuneration payable to the Directors.
The Non-executive Directors receive fixed fees for their appointments as members of the Board and additional fees for sitting on each Board Committee. None of such fees are based on the performance of the Group.

The Company's Shareholders Communication Policy and Stakeholder Engagement Policy (adopted by the Board in March 2026) are available on the Company's website. These policies are subject to review on a regular basis to ensure its implementation and effectiveness.
The Company commits to engaging stakeholders in ongoing dialogues to understand their evolving needs, concerns and expectations. The Company establishes different forms of engagement for different groups of stakeholders to keep consistent interactions and maintains different communication channels for shareholders and investors to communicate their views on matters regarding the Company's businesses and affairs. These channels include (1) corporate communications $^{Note 1}$ published on the websites of the Company, HKEX and NSM, where applicable with notice of availability of corporate communications to be distributed to shareholders $^{Note 2}$ by email or by post (where applicable) (and, in the case of actionable corporate communications $^{Note 3}$, further disseminated to shareholders in accordance with the HK Listing Rules); (2) general meetings which provide a forum for shareholders to raise comments and exchange views with the Board; (3) updated and key information regarding the Group available on the website of the Company; (4) the Company's website which offers a communication platform between the Company and its shareholders and stakeholders; (5) press conferences and briefing meetings with analysts held from time to time, where applicable, to provide updates on the performance of the Group; (6) the Company's Branch Share Registrar who deals with shareholders for share registration and related matters; (7) the Corporate Affairs Department of the Company handling enquiries from shareholders, investors and the media generally; and (8) other dedicated communication channels, activities and events operated or organised by designated business units and departments at various levels engaging different groups of stakeholders.

Shareholders' questions not fully answered at general meetings will be followed up by the Company Secretary, the authorised officers and other relevant departments, as appropriate. Contact details of Investor Relations are available on the Company's website for taking enquiries and receiving information requests from shareholders. Those enquiries and information requests will be handled by Investor Relations or referred to other relevant departments for further handling. Having reviewed the implementation of the multiple channels of communication in place, the Board, through and by the Audit Committee, considers that the implementation of the Company's Shareholders Communication Policy was effective during the year ended 31st December, 2025. In August 2025, the Shareholders Communication Policy was amended to reflect the new arrangements for dissemination of corporate communications to shareholders.
The Group, through Executive Directors, Executive Committee members, Planning & Investment Department and Corporate Affairs Department, engages with, and responds to requests for information and queries from, the investment community including shareholders, analysts and the media through regular briefing meetings, webcasts, conference calls and presentations.

CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
The Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects may be affected by risks and uncertainties directly or indirectly pertaining to the Group's businesses. The risk factors set out below are those that could result in the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects differing materially from expected or historical results. Such factors are by no means exhaustive or comprehensive, and there may be other risks in addition to those shown below which are not known to the Group or which may not be material now but could turn out to be material in the future. In addition, this Annual Report does not constitute a recommendation or advice to invest in the shares or other securities of the Company and investors are advised to make their own judgement or consult their own investment advisors before making any investment in the shares or other securities of the Company.
Heightened trade tensions and policy uncertainty, currency fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, diverging fiscal policy and monetary policy, fluctuation of commodity prices and energy costs, continuing geopolitical tensions and increasing climate risks could create uncertainties and volatility in the global economy and financial markets. Global economic growth could falter if trade tensions escalate, inflation surges, market sentiment deteriorates, consumer confidence weakens or asset price further declines.
The Group is a diversified infrastructure investment company with businesses presently in Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the United Kingdom ("UK"), Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions in those countries and places in which the Group operates may potentially impact on the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations, asset values and liabilities.
The industries in which the Group operates are affected by the economic conditions of the various places where the Group's investments or operations are located, the population growth of these places, mark to market value of investment securities, the currency environment, inflation impact and interest rate cycles. There can be no assurance that the combination of the above factors the Group experiences in the future will not adversely affect its businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
The interest rate cycle has impact on the aggregate demand from all sectors, which may in turn affect the businesses of the Group. While the Group regularly reviews its exposure to interest rate fluctuations and may manage such exposure using hedging instruments, there can be no guarantee that the Group will not be affected by the interest rate exposure.
In particular, certain businesses and investments of the Group are subject to regulatory regimes in which local interest rates are taken into account in the calculation of the regulated cost of capital, which flows through to allowed revenue. There can be no assurance that any changes in the regulated cost of capital can be fully mitigated by the businesses. Furthermore, income from finance and treasury operations is dependent upon the capital markets, interest rate and currency environment, and the worldwide economic and market conditions, and therefore there can be no assurance that changes in these conditions will not adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects. The volatility in the financial markets may also adversely affect the income to be derived by the Group from its finance and treasury activities.
The business operation of the Group may be viewed as substantially concentrated in certain geographical markets or in one particular or more types of business. If and when the Group's operations are exposed to any deterioration in the economic, social or political conditions as well as any incidence of social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience or terrorism, or even outbreaks of epidemics in such geographical markets or business segments, the adverse circumstances may materially disrupt the Group's operations and, in turn, impact the revenue, profitability and financial condition of the Group.
Unlike the Group's regulated businesses, which do not experience significant competition, some of the Group's non-regulated business, such as waste management, off-airport car parking, cement and household infrastructure businesses, face competition across the diverse markets in which they operate. New market entrants and intensified price competition among existing market players, product innovation or technology advancement could adversely impact the Group's non-regulated businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects. Non-regulated companies operate in dynamic environments with relation to market or customer demands. Misreading market or customer trends may weaken competitiveness. Competition risks faced by the Group include (a) possible restrictions on the access by the shuttle buses operated by the Group's off-airport car parking businesses as imposed by the airport authorities that operates the on-airport car parking businesses; (b) the availability of rail link services from city centre to airport which may reduce the usage of the off-airport car park; and (c) significant competition and pricing pressure from other competitors attempting to capture a higher level of market share. Such risks may adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
The Group has historically focused, and continues to focus, its portfolio on regulated businesses in the power and infrastructure sectors. The infrastructure market is highly regulated. Some of the investments owned by the Group in the power and infrastructure sectors (for example, water, gas and electricity) are subject to regulatory pricing and strict adherence must be made to the licence requirements, codes and guidelines established by the relevant regulatory authorities from time to time. Failure to comply with these licence requirements, codes or guidelines may lead to penalties, or, in extreme circumstances, amendment, suspension or cancellation of the relevant licences by the authorities. Interest and inflation rates, high energy cost, energy windfall tax, cap on the energy retail prices in certain markets as well as tougher stances adopted by regulators may affect the returns of the Group's infrastructure businesses. Any operational practices that are significantly out of step with community expectations can lead to concerns with regulators or local or national governments, and may ultimately lead to more stringent regulatory resets, regulatory oversight as well as negative publicity that could also have a reputational impact.
The distribution and transmission networks of the Group's utilities investments are also exposed to supply interruptions. If an extreme weather and climate event, earthquake, storm, flood, fire, sabotage, terrorist attack, outbreaks of epidemics or any other unplanned event interrupts service, the loss of cash flow resulting from the interruption and the cost of recovery from network damage could be considerable and potentially cause poor customer perceptions and may also lead to claims and litigation. Moreover, some losses from events such as terrorist attacks may not be recoverable. Military conflicts and geopolitical instability may impact energy supply at risk and cause price volatility. Increases in the number or duration of supply interruptions could result in material increases in the costs associated with the operation of the distribution and transmission networks. The capacity factor (load factor) of the wind farms acquired by the Group could also be affected by the wind conditions, which could result in the fluctuation of revenues. Some investments in non-regulated business may also be impacted by regulatory reform. All of these uncertain factors could have a material adverse effect on the businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects of the Group.

200 CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 201
The Group's investment in Husky Midstream Limited Partnership ("HMLP") comprises oil pipelines, storage facilities and ancillary assets in Canada. Its results of operation and financial condition may be dependent on the prices received for refined products and crude oil of Cenovus Energy Inc. ("Cenovus"). Fluctuation of crude oil prices could impact the value and quantity of Cenovus' oil production. HMLP also has other customers apart from Cenovus and their demand for HMLP's services may depend on prices received for their refined products and crude oil. Prices for refined products and crude oil are based on local and global supply and demand as well as availability and costs of transportation. Supply and demand may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, actions taken by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), non-OPEC crude oil supply, social and political conditions in oil producing countries, the occurrence of natural disasters, general and specific economic conditions, technological developments, prevailing weather patterns and the availability of alternate sources of energy. Furthermore, HMLP is also susceptible to unforeseen pipeline releases at rivers or nature reserves. If the above events occurred or further occurred, it may adversely affect the Group's financial conditions and results of operations.
Capex investment plans for regulated business are proposed and planned based on the asset conditions, regulatory compliance and government initiative, such as net zero emission and hydrogen plan. Aggressive targets could require huge capital investment in a short period of time. That would cause concerns on: affordability of the customers for the increase in tariff; availability of labour and supplies in construction. Excess demand would further drag up capital investment project costs and its financeability, which might cause cost of funding not being able to be justified by the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) return allowed by the regulator.
A significant amount of capital expenditure is also required for the Group to maintain the assets of its existing businesses. While the relevant asset companies have their own asset management plans, there is a risk that due to unforeseen events, capital expenditure required for the replacement of assets could exceed budgeted amounts and hence affect the businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects of the Group.
The Group is a global infrastructure group and is exposed to potential currency fluctuations in these countries and territories in which the Group operates, particularly with respect to U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars, New Zealand dollars, British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars and Euros. The results of the Group are recorded in Hong Kong dollars but its various subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures may receive revenue and incur expenses in other currencies. Any currency fluctuations on translation of the accounts of these subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and also on the repatriation of earnings, equity investments and loans may therefore impact the Group's financial condition, results of operations, asset values or liabilities.
To minimise currency risk exposure in respect of its investments in other countries, the Group generally hedges those investments with (i) currency swaps and (ii) an appropriate level of borrowings denominated in the local currencies. The Group has not entered into any speculative derivative transaction.
Although currency exposures have been managed by the Group, a depreciation or fluctuation of the currencies in which the Group conducts operations relative to the Hong Kong dollar could adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
With the rapid expansion of internet, networking, information and operational technology, coupled with swift development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, the incidence and severity of cyber fraud, cyber attacks and security breaches are escalating globally. As the Group's businesses focus on power and infrastructure sectors, they could be particularly prone to cyber attacks and security breaches due to their structural importance. The Group's critical utility, data and information assets are not immune from attack, damage or unauthorised access. Driven by increasing number of losses and claims, costs for cyber insurance have been increasing consistently over the past few years. Cybersecurity risks could significantly impact the operational and business performance, as well as the business reputation of the Group. The Group continuously strives to enhance the cybersecurity protection of its businesses.
There can be no assurance that the Group will be free from cyber fraud, cyber attacks or security breaches or that it will not experience any major damage to its assets or activities. Cyber fraud, cyber attacks or security breaches suffered by the Group's systems could result in significant impact on the Group's business reputation, businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects. As threats related to cyber security develop and grow, the Group and its businesses may also find it necessary to make further investments to enhance cybersecurity, which may impact the Group's results of operations and financial condition.
The rapid advancement of AI introduces increasing uncertainty to the Group's long-term strategic and operational planning.
As the pace of AI development accelerates across global markets, many businesses are investing out of fear of missing out rather than having a clear strategic plan for how the technology will pay off. While it is believed that the long-term potential for AI is high, it is currently, for the vast majority of companies, a major cost centre rather than a profit driver. However, if the Group fails to catch up with competitors who manage to use AI to drive profits and reduce costs, the Group's business performance and its ability to sustain competitive positioning in key markets may be significantly prejudiced.
At the operational level, greater reliance on digital platforms, AI customer service, smart-metering, network control systems, automation and data-driven processes increases the Group's exposure to new technology-related risks, including cyber-security breaches, data-quality failures, AI-driven system errors, and intellectual property leakage, and other system-related incidents and disruption that may result in customer dissatisfaction, reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny or increases in operating costs.
Evolving AI-specific regulations in the Group's key markets may increase compliance and internal control burdens of the Group, and may necessitate redesign or restructuring of the Group's operational practices. These dynamics may lead to increased operating and compliance costs, and reduced competitiveness and profit margins.
The labour markets in which the Group operates are experiencing short and long term structural changes. Labour demand is increasingly constrained by skills shortages, demographic shifts, rising employee expectations and the ongoing cost of living. These conditions may result in higher employee turnover, increased operating costs and reduced workforce stability. The turnover of key personnel may impact the Group's businesses stability, performance and operations.
RISK FACTORS
Geopolitical tensions have disrupted supply of raw materials, transportation and port operations. This has resulted in escalating costs, unpredictable lead time and quality issues, combined with widespread shortages of shipping availability. Additionally, the fluctuation in energy and oil prices has added complexity to the disruption. Global disruptions have impacted domestic supply chains. Specific domestic issues include shortage of labour which is particularly acute in some areas where the Group operates. There is no assurance that the situation will improve in the near future.
Certain businesses of the Group are conducted through non-wholly owned subsidiaries, associates, internal joint ventures, and, to a lesser extent, external joint ventures in which the Group shares control and strategic alliances have been formed by the Group with strategic or business partners. There can be no assurance that any of the external strategic or business partners will maintain their relationships with the Group. The Group may not be able to pursue its stated strategies with respect to its non-wholly owned subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Furthermore, the joint venture partners may (a) have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Group; (b) take actions contrary to the Group's policies or objectives; (c) undergo a change of control; (d) experience financial and other difficulties; or (e) be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the joint ventures, which may affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
Governments and multinational organisations (including but not limited to the State Department and the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States, the UK's HM Treasury, Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation or other UK government agencies, the European Union ("EU") or any member state thereof and the United Nations), from time to time administer certain laws and regulations that impose restrictions with respect to activities, transmission of funds or transactions with certain countries, governments, entities and individuals that are the subject of economic sanctions. There can be no assurance that such sanctions or other restrictions will not affect the jurisdictions in which the Group conducts its business, any of the Group's business partners, suppliers, customers or otherwise. To the extent that any such sanction or restriction is imposed in jurisdictions where the Group's business operates, the Group may need to cease operations in those jurisdictions and suffer losses in that regard. If any of the Group's business partners or suppliers are impacted by sanctions or restrictions, provision of goods, services or support by them may be disrupted or discontinued, which may affect the Group's ability to continue to operate related businesses. If any of the Group's business partners are affected by sanctions or restrictions, the discontinuation or disruption of strategic alliances with such business partners may also affect the Group's ability to continue to operate related businesses and/or may result in suspension of operations. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain alternative goods, services, support or alliance it needs for the operation of its business, in a timely manner or at competitive terms, and no assurance that any compensation recoverable from business partners or suppliers for the discontinued or disrupted supply, service, support or alliance will be available or adequate. If any of the Group's customers are affected by sanctions or restrictions, the Group may be forced to discontinue the provision of services or goods to such customers and the Group will suffer losses in that regard. If any of the Group's assets are in the possession of such customers, there can be no assurance that such assets can be repossessed by the Group especially if such assets are located in countries or regions subject to sanctions or restrictions and no assurance that any compensation recoverable from such customers or insurers for the Group's failure to repossess such assets will be available. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition and results of operations.
The Group has undertaken significant merger and acquisition activities in the past, and as part of its strategic growth plans, expects to continue to do so in the future if there are appropriate acquisition opportunities in the markets. In pursuit of new business opportunities, the Group is experiencing more intense competition where competing bidders are more aggressive in the valuation of the assets on the back of abundant market liquidity and lower return requirements, and a willingness to take market risk. Even for assets where there is a bid/ask spread between buyers and sellers, many sellers still have holding power and often decide to continue to hold the assets rather than sell below their reserve price. It is becoming increasingly common for sponsors to sell partial interests in assets while using continuation vehicles to hold remaining interests via other pockets of capital, which also reduces the opportunity set for wholly-owned control situations. Although due diligence and detailed analyses will be conducted in advance in prospective mergers and acquisitions, there can be no assurance that these can fully expose all hidden problems, potential liabilities and unresolved disputes that the target company may have. In addition, valuations and analyses on the target company conducted by the Group or by professionals alike are based on numerous assumptions, and there can be no assurance that those assumptions are correct or appropriate or that they will receive universal recognition. Relevant facts and circumstances used in the analyses could have changed over time, and new facts and evolving circumstances may come to light as to render the previous assumptions and the valuations and analyses based thereon obsolete.
Merger and acquisition, and disposal transactions are typically subject to negotiations and agreements to be entered into, and even if final agreements are entered into, may still be subject to merger, anti-trust, national security, foreign investment, foreign subsidy and other regulatory approvals by the competent authorities which may only approve the transactions subject to conditions, or prohibit the transactions. There can be no assurance that any such transactions or proposals will proceed, or any such approvals or other conditions would be obtained or satisfied and even if such approvals are obtained, third parties may initiate proceedings to appeal against such approvals. If a proposed transaction does not proceed or is prohibited, or the relevant approvals are revoked, and the transaction cannot be completed, the Group will have incurred significant expenses, such as legal, accounting and other costs in connection with the transaction, without realising its anticipated benefits, such as increased earnings, scale, competitive strength and market share. There might be longer and more complicated foreign investment approval processes in particular for "critical" infrastructure assets such as electricity and gas networks, and assets that handle data. Geopolitical tensions and trade protectionism have accelerated these trends as governments have responded with additional foreign investment regulations to protect local enterprises from foreign acquisitions and also to protect strategic assets from foreign ownership. Such foreign investment approval risks and timeline are now one of the key considerations of sellers to ensure transaction certainty. The Group may not necessarily be able to successfully integrate the target business into the Group and may not be able to derive any synergy from the acquisition, leading to an increase in costs, time and resources. For merger, acquisition and disposal activities undertaken overseas, the Group may also be exposed to different and changing political, social, legal and regulatory requirements at the local, national and international levels. The Group may also need to face different cultural issues when dealing with local employees, customers, governmental authorities and pressure groups.

The local business risks in different countries and territories in which the Group operates could have a material impact on the businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects. The Group has investments in different countries and territories with different business cultures and commercial environments around the world. The Group is, and may increasingly become, exposed to different and changing political, social, legal, tax, regulatory and environmental requirements at the local, national or international level. Also, new guidelines, directives, policies or measures by governments, whether fiscal, tax, regulatory or environmental, or other competitive changes, may lead to increase in additional or unplanned operating expenses, capital expenditures and insurance cost, increase in market capacity, reduction in government subsidies, may pose a risk to the overall investment return of the Group's businesses and may delay or prevent the commercial operation of a business, which may result in loss of revenue and profits and adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations, growth prospects or reputation.
Political, regulatory and media attention has increased significantly towards privatised companies in countries in which the Group operates. Regulators in some of these countries have warned of increasingly onerous regulatory resets, and some major political parties are promoting policies to bring energy and water back into public ownership, which could potentially have serious and material consequences for the Group if such regulations and policies are enacted. Group companies are responding to these risks by focusing on their core strategies of delivering and outperforming regulatory outputs such as safety, reliability and customer service, at the lowest cost possible; by conveying the positive benefits to customers of the services they provide; and by engaging collaboratively with regulators and politicians to demonstrate the advantages of private ownership.
In the ordinary course of its operations, various businesses of the Group collect, store and use data that is protected by personal data protection laws in the different countries in which they operate. As regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and worldwide laws and regulations concerning the handling of personal information expand and become more complex, potential risks related to personal data collection and use within the Group's businesses are expected to intensify.
In the event that any relevant business of the Group is unable to meet its obligations under applicable data protection laws, it may be subject to regulatory actions or civil claims. The expenses on remediation, costs of regulatory or legal actions, and monetary damages and/or reputational damage suffered as a result of such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition and results of operations.
Many aspects of the Group's businesses and their operations are inherently dangerous, such as the operation and maintenance of electricity generation and distribution businesses, and gas transmission and distribution businesses which have the potential to trigger operational hazards. In addition, certain operational aspects of the Group's businesses that are not currently regarded or proven to have adverse effects could be later found to be hazardous, such as the operations effected by electric and magnetic fields.
The Group's businesses are subject to laws and regulations governing health and safety matters to protect both the public, employees and contractors, who could potentially be harmed by these activities, as well as laws and regulations relating to pollution, the protection of the environment, and the use and disposal of hazardous substances and waste materials, which are all subject to change in the future. Any breach of these obligations, or even incidents that do not amount to a breach could adversely affect the Group's results of operations and reputation.
The Group is required to comply with numerous laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and land use in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Continental Europe, Canada, Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland and elsewhere. These laws and regulations may change over time.
The Group believes that it and its businesses have obtained all material environmental approvals currently required to operate their facilities. However, the Group and its businesses may incur significant additional costs as a result of current and future environmental regulations and requirements to obtain approvals. In addition, there can be no assurance that the requirements to obtain such approvals may not become more stringent in the future and that such approvals would be renewed when they expire. Furthermore, there is a risk that some environmental agencies may seek to retroactively alter certain permitting conditions, particularly in cases where certain practices were established and agreed upon in principle but were not documented.
In addition, the Group's businesses may be significantly impacted by evolving environmental regulations and decarbonisation efforts in the countries where they operate.
Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations could result in the imposition of civil or criminal liabilities, the imposition of liens or fines and additional expenditures to bring the facilities into compliance, which would have a material adverse effect on the Group's businesses, financial conditions, results of operations or growth prospects.
The International Accounting Standards Board has from time to time issued a number of new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards. The International Accounting Standards Board may in the future issue new and revised standards and interpretations. In addition, interpretations on the application of the IFRS Accounting Standards will continue to develop. These factors may require the Group to adopt new accounting policies. The adoption of new accounting policies or new IFRS Accounting Standards might or could have a significant impact on the Group's financial position or results of operations.
CK Hutchison Holdings Limited ("CK Hutchison") is also listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HK Stock Exchange"). Although the Group believes that its relationship with CK Hutchison provides it with significant business advantages, any transactions entered into between the Group and CK Hutchison, its subsidiaries or associates are connected transactions under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the HK Stock Exchange ("HK Listing Rules"), which, unless one of the exemptions is available, will be subject to compliance with the applicable requirements of the HK Listing Rules, including the issuance of announcements, the obtaining of independent shareholders' approval at general meetings and disclosure in annual reports and financial statements. Independent shareholders' approval requirements may also lead to unpredictable outcomes causing disruption to as well as increase in the risks of the Group's business activities. Independent shareholders may also take actions that are in conflict with the interests of the Group.
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2025
RISKS ARISING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
Some of the Group's assets and businesses, and many of the Group's customers and suppliers are located in areas that would be affected in the medium to long term by climate change. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, and some of which can result in natural disasters. It could disrupt supply chains, interrupt business operations and cause financial and physical damages. Alteration in weather patterns, such as typhoons, droughts, or rainfall amount may cause shortage of crops for food and other natural resources. The harsher temperatures in some locations may also pose an increased risk for staff working in those locations. Changes in microclimates for certain locations may render certain businesses obsolete. The Group and its businesses are also increasingly subject to regulations in relation to climate change. While the Group commits significant expenditure towards complying with these laws and regulations, the cost of future environmental obligations is often inherently difficult to estimate. If additional and more onerous requirements are imposed or the Group or its businesses are less able to recover additional costs imposed, the Group's businesses, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Some governments are also introducing legislation or requirements to restrict emissions and other environmental protective measures. Some regulators have issued mandatory disclosure requirements in relation to climate-related financial risk disclosures. Regulations, new disclosure requirements, disruption and damage arising from climate change could have a material impact on the Group's businesses and adversely affect the Group's financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that climate change and its impact including rising sea levels, prolonged droughts, heat waves, severe storms or flooding and other extreme weather patterns will not occur and result in major disruption or damage to the Group's assets and businesses, which could materially and adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
TRANSITION RISKS
Pressure on businesses to support the transition to low-carbon economic systems is rising. In a low-carbon economy, emissions are minimised through the use of low-carbon resources, while resource efficiency is maximised by the reduction of wasteful and high-emissions consumption. Infrastructure businesses faced significant pressure from regulatory, legal, market, technological, and reputational risks generated by the transition which could have a material impact on the Group's businesses and adversely affect the Group's financial condition and results of operations. For example, additional legal and/or regulatory measures imposing limitation on greenhouse gases emissions or efficiency improvements and some companies are also impacted by carbon tax introduced by governments, may results in potential litigation, operation restriction and significant compliance cost.
If the Group fails to exploit the opportunities presented by sustainability-related initiatives and address the risks associated with sustainability-related matters (including but not limited to such risk of being involved in any sustainability-related litigation or dispute, and such risk of failure to comply with increasingly demanding regulations for disclosure of its sustainability performance), the Group's long-term business performance and reputation may be prejudiced.
NATURAL DISASTERS
Some of the Group's assets and projects, and many of the Group's customers and suppliers are located in areas at risk of damage from earthquakes, floods, storms, drought, bushfires, frost and similar disasters and the occurrence of any of these disasters could disrupt the Group's businesses and materially and adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
There can be no assurance that earthquakes, floods, storms, drought, bushfires, extreme weather or other natural disasters will not occur and result in major damage to the Group's infrastructure projects, utility assets or facilities, or to the general supporting infrastructure facilities in the vicinity, which could adversely affect the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
REPUTATIONAL RISKS
The Group's portfolio is primarily comprised of regulated businesses, and maintaining trust in the Group is critical to its ability to maintain strong relationships with the relevant regulators as well as investors and employees. Damage to the Group's reputation can therefore cause significant harm to its businesses and prospects. The Group also has strategic alliances with its affiliated companies, and the Group's reputation could also be harmed by the failure of an affiliate, a vendor or other third parties with which it does business, to comply with laws or regulations.
In addition, any failure or perceived failure of any of the Group's portfolio businesses to deliver appropriate standards of service and quality or to handle or use confidential information appropriately can result in user or regulators' dissatisfaction, litigation and heightened regulatory scrutiny, all of which can lead to lost turnover, higher operating costs and harm to the Group's and its businesses' reputation. Adverse publicity or negative information posted on social media regarding the Group or its businesses, whether or not true, may result in reputational harm, and have a material adverse effect on the Group's businesses and prospects. Should any of these or other events or factors that can undermine the Group's reputation occur, there is no assurance that the additional costs and expenses that it may need to incur to address the issues giving rise to the reputational harm could not adversely affect its businesses and results of operations.
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
There can be no assurance that there will not be another significant global outbreak of a severe communicable disease, and if such an outbreak were to occur, it could have an adverse impact on the operations of the Group and its results of operations might suffer. The potential impact on the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects will depend on a range of factors, including the duration, severity and scope of the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity globally, the possibility of resurgence and variants, and the measures adopted by governments.
POTENTIAL RISKS IN RELATION TO WITHDRAWAL OF THE UK FROM EUROPEAN UNION'S MEMBERSHIP ("BREXIT")
The UK left the EU on 31st January, 2020. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the UK and the EU, which entered into full force and effect on 1st May, 2021, sets out preferential arrangements in various aspects such as trade, security, areas on ongoing collaboration/cooperation and governance. Brexit may continue to create uncertainty about the new economic and social partnership between the UK and the EU, and has impacted trade intensity, labour availability, supply chain, exchange rates and the gross domestic product levels in the UK.
SOCIAL INCIDENTS, TERRORIST THREATS AND GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS
The Group is a diversified infrastructure investment company with businesses presently in Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, the UK, Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. In recent years, a series of social incidents, terrorist activities and geopolitical tensions occurred across the globe that resulted in economic losses, multiple deaths, casualties, persistent supply chain disruptions and volatility in commodity markets. There can be no assurance that countries in which the Group operates will not have any social incidents or they will be immune from terrorist threats or geopolitical tensions, and if these events occur, they may have an adverse impact on the Group's businesses, financial condition, results of operations or growth prospects.
CK INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDINGS LIMITED
ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Since its listing on the HK Stock Exchange in 1996, the Company has grown its dividends in each of the past 29 years. However, the Company's track record of dividend payment may not continue in the future. The Company's principal assets consist of its ownership stakes in its operating portfolio businesses. The Company's ability to pay dividends and fulfil its obligations depends, among other factors, on the ability of its portfolio businesses to distribute dividends, repay intercompany loans provided by the Company or extend intercompany loans to the Company. The Group's portfolio businesses are subject to regulations that may limit the amount of dividends, loans or advances they may make to the Company.
In addition, the Company's ability to pay dividends may be constrained by business considerations, such as the impact of dividends on the Company's credit ratings or competitive position. Furthermore, as a Bermuda incorporated company and under the Bye-laws, the Company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) the Company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or (ii) the realisable value of its assets would thereby become less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium account.
Dual listing of the Company's shares on HK Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange plc ("LSE") may lead to an inefficient market in the shares as it results in differences in liquidity, settlement and clearing systems, trading currencies, prices and transaction costs between HK Stock Exchange and LSE. These and other factors can hinder the transferability of the shares between the two exchanges.
The Company's shares are quoted and traded in Hong Kong dollars on HK Stock Exchange. The shares will be quoted and traded in British pounds sterling on LSE. The market price of the shares on those exchanges may also differ due to exchange rate fluctuations.
Consequently, the trading in, and liquidity of, the Company's shares will be split between these two exchanges. The characteristics of the Hong Kong and UK capital markets are different. HK Stock Exchange and LSE have different trading hours, trading characteristics (including trading volume and liquidity), trading and listing rules, market regulations, and investor bases. As a result of these differences, the price of the shares may fluctuate and may at any time be different on HK Stock Exchange and LSE, even allowing for currency differences. This could adversely affect the trading of the shares on these exchanges and increase their price volatility and adversely affect the price and liquidity of the shares on these exchanges.
The past performance and the results of operations of the Group as contained in this Annual Report are historical in nature and past performance can be no guarantee of future results of the Group.
